Obama: "New Beginning in Iraq"

Congress, the "foreign policy elite," the media and, of course, President Bush are all to blame for the mess in Iraq, says Senator Barack Obama. And that includes Hillary Clinton -- "some now seek to rewrite history" but "this was a vote about whether or not to go to war. That's the truth as we all understood it then." Obama says he's running "to challenge" the conventional "Washington groupthink."

Sound Bite: "How can you give the President a blank check and then act surprised when he cashes it."



llinois Representative Jan Schakowsky talks about how smart and courageous Barack was to "stand up and say no to war."

If you ever thought it would be easy to beat the Clintons, think again. Even though Ms. Clinton has done nothing extra-ordinary in this campaign.

Leading in the polls was never going to be a problem for Bill and Hillary Clinton. They have the most popular last name in modern politics.

Raising the most money was never going to be a challenge for the Clintons. But it takes genius for a guy named Barack Obama to have raised $12 million more of primary money than Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Senator Obama is the only candidate who has done extra-ordinary things in this campaign; things no one thought he was capable of and that%u2019s a good sign. Write him off at your own peril.

As for me and my house, we%u2019re supporting Senator Obama for President.

Obama leads Clinton misleads. Strength and experience on her part, now that is rich. Go examine the last twenty five years. The former corporate lawyer against the Constitutional Law Professor with more legislative experience should be the peoples choice. Obama 08.
Obama has worked at the ground level, the state level, the national level. He sits on more committees. He unites while she divides. Please, let''s get it right this time.
