Obama and Clinton on the Issues

[JSojourner]

>>>>  Clinton seems to be more of an dominatrix (obliterate and no perp walks), where Obama at once embraces talk, but eschews tough talk. So Obama doves and loves out Clinton <<<<<

I might be tempted to call this a wash.  Obama's like about not fearing to negotiate is definitely out there and has been very poorly constructed...but it's sound.  All he needs to do is invoke images of Reagan sitting across the table from the Soviet beast or Nixon and Deng Xiao Ping having tea.  Of course, in a Democratic primary, praising Reagan isn't always a smart move -- remember Obama getting bashed early on?

But in terms of knuckle dragging and chest beating, Obama's the one whose promised more unilateral and aggressive retaliation if Pakistan continues to thumb its nose at us regarding Al Qaeda.  And it was Clinton who tried scolding him for being too militaristic about that.

Basically, she's for tough talk with certain powers and he's for tough talk with others.  I'm just glad McCain hasn't offered a "kill them all and let God sort 'em out" proposal.  He worries me, but not nearly as much as Giuliani, Huckabee or even Romney.
