Obama 'too risky to lead foreign policy'
Couriermail ^ | February 26, 2008 | From correspondents in Washington

DEMOCRATIC presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton called rival Barack Obama a risky choice to lead US foreign policy even as Obama gained ground on her in the battleground US state of Ohio today.

"He wavers from seeming to believe that mediation and meetings without preconditions can solve the world's intractable problems, to advocating rash, unilateral military action without cooperation from our allies in the most sensitive region of the world," Senator Clinton said.

I do not think a muslim has the best interests of the USA in mind. His allegiance is to those who want to kill us....

My dear, you are going to get flamed for saying something positive about Hillary...But,I do agree. I am pulling for Hillary to win the Rats nod. We can’t take any chance on an unknown. Besides Hillary is so contentious, I doubt if she would accomplish much. And she might lose the general but that might be a bad thing. who knows

She is correct. He is too risky...

But clean.

And articulate, as Joe Biden pointed out. Don't forget that.
