You believe what you want to believe. If I chose not to refute several points from your first post, it's because there's no sense in wasting my time. You have convinced yourself that the Clintons are evil. Therefore, there's no point in my pointing out to you that there are several factual mistakes in what you wrote. For instance, Hillary never sent Susan Rice to appear on the Sunday morning shows. She simply chose no to do the rounds herself. The WH sent Rice and also provided her with the talking points that later on were found out not to be factual.

As for Obama, I never said (nor I believe) that he is worse than Bush. But, he has continued some of Bush policies when it comes to national security.

Here's further proof, Cheney approves of Obama's drone policies. If that's not the kiss of death, I don't know what is.

"Dick Cheney: Obama Drone Program Is 'A Good Policy'

WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Dick Cheney says the Obama administration's policy of targeting terrorists abroad with unmanned drone strikes is "a good policy," even though he disagrees with most of President Barack Obama's views on national security."
