“Obama is against No Child Left Behind and Hillary is for it.”

Not entirely true. Clinton voted for No Child Left Behind in 2001 and continues to believe in the principles of that legislation. However, she now supports ending the program after Bush cut millions of dollars out of it and turned it into “an unfunded mandate.”

Obama is against No Child Left Behind and Hillary is for it. Clinton wants to force everyone to buy health care, which is troublesome because she is backed by special interest groups. Obama wants to make health care affordable, get more people covered, but still make it a choice. If Clinton wins, there will have been at least 24 years in a row of a Clinton/Bush administration - not exactly the picture of democracy. Obama is the better candidate against McCain, who will only get record conservative turnout on his side if they're voting AGAINST Clinton. Obama wants to give low-wage workers sick days. He wants to make sure federal contracts are competitively bid on. He wants to make the first $4,000 of a college education is completely tax deductible/refundable. Obama is a great speaker, like MLK and JFK before him, two figures who were worshiped but still obviously made some impact. I won't yet say he has made any impact like them, but I believe he will if he gets elected. Maybe some people get caught up deifying Obama, but most people just love him as a candidate. Obama is the only candidate who is pro LGBT and outspoken about that.
