A poster called “Grassroots Mom” on DailyKos had not originally supported Obama in this election but she decided to do some very graunular and eye openeing research on both Hillary and Obama and from that research is now supporting Obama.

 ”I Refuse to Buy into the Obama Hype (now a supporter)”

Her conclusion…

Obama appears to have a better record last year in the Senate on getting his bills and amendments passed than does Clinton. I’ve listed everything that passed the Senate for each them at the end in boxes. But check out Thomas.loc.gov for yourself. I may have missed something.

In my eyes Obama is the superior choice in every way. He cares about more of the issues that matter to me. Kids and health care are important but so is the issue of global warming, on which Clinton introduced not a single bill last year.

Obama is a leader. With bigger majorities in Congress, much of his agenda should sail through. He can inspire this country to change course on so many things, from health care to global warming, where attitudes have to be changed first. I remember Bill Clinton’s endless laundry lists of small, focus group approved initiatives. For those who say Hillary will not govern like Bill did, I respond that the people who were doing the market testing of his proposed policies were Dick Morris, of course, and Mark Penn, who is now running Hillary’s campaign.

It’s Obama for me! I just sent him $100. My first donation this election.

So the proof is in the pudding. Obama not only thinks big but gets the support to get it done. This is the leadership that is needed in the country and like her this is why I support Obama.
