Couldn't help but notice Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama gave damn near the same speech. "Yes We Can" ... "Health care for all Americans" ... "Relieving us from the Tyranny of Oil" ... "Pay teachers what they are worth" ... "Bad drug companies" ... "Evil oil companies" ... "Change" ... "Change" ... "Change".Obama was head and shoulders a better speaker, but they are both reading from the same script.
In fact. I'll Paypal anybody $200 who can name a POLICY difference between Clinton and Obama.
The only man still willing to talk to the American people like they are grown and have some sense is Ron Paul. While the pundits and peasants concern themselves with whether or not Hillary "seemed" authentic - Paul champions genuine policy changes that could save America.
There is something special about Obama, but he needs to take a chapter from the Ron Paul book and actually deal in issues and stop pacifying the intellectually lazy who vote for whom they "like".

Perhaps after O's defeat tonight he will be forced to start talking about some real issues. The reason that Hillary and Obama don't talk more about the real differences between them is because there is so little difference between them.Their idea of change looks down right quaint, compared to Ron Paul's idea of change. And really, are either one of them prepared to go far enough to change this country's trajectory?

Clinton's health care plan is mandatory for everyone.
Obama's health care plan is only mandatory for children.
You don't have to transfer the dub to my papal. Just send it to Obama. Appreciate it.
Health care mandatory for "everybody" vs. mandatory for kids ...
ummm ...
I'm not going to say "Whoopty Fuggin Dooo".
But ... that's just more of that tax and spend - government as parent BS that got this country into the jam it's in now.
But in the spirit of good will, I'll email Obama 08 $3.75
About what that "difference" is worth.
A man of your word I see. That's your opinion. I see it as huge. That small whoopty doo difference is an alternative more affordable health care plan vs. all out socialized medicine. You can't see that?
As a registered Democrat, my eyes are on Obama. As a voter with free will, I am attracted to Ron Paul's interest in eliminating the Federal Reserve.
His speech to Congress about abolishing the Federal Reserve here:

You make a good point Paul.
But, no, I don't see the difference between Obama's "Health Care Plan" and Hillary's "Health Care Plan" as more affordable.
Not because it promises to serve fewer people - but because neither plan actually makes anyone more "Healthy".
It just moves money around.
An excuse to take more tax dollars from Americans to ensure that "all" people can now go to doctors who do nothing but prescribe drugs to them - ultimately making the Pharmaceutical companies even more rich, by guaranteeing them a customer base with money.
At the end of the day - not one American will be "Healthier". Just more taxed and more drugged.
I love Obama personally, but he and Hillary are political twins.
Symbolically speaking Clinton has no poverty plan. None.
In contrast ANYTHING Obama has to say about poverty represents a stark difference. Where is Clinton's equivalent of an job green corps for example? Clinton's equivalent of a affordable housing program?
The two are very similar politically. Edwards is far better than the both of them.
But there are differences.
