"And yes, says Vilsack, one big contrast is on Iran. "Here's the difference: she was there. She actually cast a vote," he said, referring to the fact that Obama missed the Senate roll call while out campaigning."

This cracks me up. The difference between Hillary and Obama isn't that she was there and he wasn't. The difference is that she is the only Democratic candidate that voted for it. Vilsack is attacking Obama for not showing up while his candidate made the wrong vote. According to Vilsack it's worse to be absent than it is to be wrong. :crazy:

7. She made a decision.
Not every presidential decision will be correct but they do have to be made.

Obama would have voted "present" even if he'd been there.

But I'm sure he'll become decisive as soon as his acolytes hand him the presidency.

9. The vote was not for war.......
Just like the vote back in 2002 was NOT for war.

This vote was to recognize the Iran Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization, and.....if honesty counts, Google the' Iran Revolutionary Guard' and you will find that the IRG is in charge of developing and controlling nuclear weapons and the missiles needed to launch them.

Both votes stressed aggressive diplomacy. The first plea for diplomacy was ignored and the second wasn't.

The NIE was lying about the first threat of WMD and now the NIE is certain and truthful that Iran is not a nuclear threat.
