8. Another insult very nice
And yet still you oversimplify the list and try to shift the argument to healthcare (which I think he has a better approach to anyways but that's another thread). This thread is about transparency, and how in that area Obama has been and promises to continue to be vastly more progressive than Clinton.

For example, because it would seem that you didn't read it before projectile pooping from your mouth here are a couple of points:

---------------

Takes campaign money from federal Washington Lobbyists: Obama - no, Clinton - yes
Takes federal PAC money: Obama - no, Clinton - yes
Took subsidized corporate jets after January 2006: Obama - no, Clinton - yes
Released complete record of correspondences from previous political position before primaries: Obama - yes, Clinton - no
Disclosed 2006 earmarks: Obama - yes, Clinton - no
Released names of any fundraising bundlers: Obama - yes in fact the first candidate to do so, Clinton -yes the LAST candidate to do so
Cosponsored campaign finance reform legislation: Obama - yes, Clinton - no


Furthermore after passing ethics at the state level Obama -

Passed a bill that created a searchable database that allows Americans to track how the government is spending their tax money! You can look at all federal government contracts. (www.usaspending.gov)

Pushed new Senate ethics bill to require candidates to disclose their bundlers

Pushed to create a Congressional Ethics Commission

Pushed a law banning subsidized corporate flights for candidates

-----------------------------

End quote.

Now do you think that a few juvenile insults mixed with a little condescension and the word "owned" make for a very good argument?

Oh and just a tip: You shouldn't use Charmin... the lint flecks get stuck in your beard.
