		<description>- ON ABORTION
Obama.

- ECONOMIC STIMULUS
Not a big fan of either of these plans.  Our GDP is ~$13,194,700,000,000 and you think $75B will stimulate the economy? In the long term I beleive the money is better spent on initiatives to lower our dependence on foreign oil and fixing the country&#039;s 50-100 year-old infrastructure.  These plans are just a gimmicks to get working-class votes.  It&#039;s like a radio station saying the 5th caller gets their heating bill paid for free this month.

- EDUCATION
Both sound like they&#039;re full of it on this one, at least Obama doesn&#039;t alienate all of the GOP (who he will need) by keeping NCLB intack.

- ON HEALTHCARE
Obama, hands down.  You have a choice with Obama&#039;s plan, especially when you have to choose between feeding your infant son and health insurance. 

- ON IRAQ
Obama was clearly doing some independent thinking / what is right when it came time to vote in 2003 on this issue. 

- ON SOCIAL SECURITY
Both of these candidates are again pandering to the blue-collar working class.  SS is a crappy system and essentially a tax.  You are giving the money to the federal government which you are not guaranteed to get back and if you die before you get a check your family doesn&#039;t see a dime of it.  If you do get a check you&#039;re not even getting a 1% return on all that money you paid in and chances are you die before you even get enough checks to equal what you paid in, much less a return on your &quot;investment&quot;!  Let&#039;s not forget the MILLIONS of free loaders on the system who are not paying FICA but getting SS checks.  Furthermore participation is MANDATORY.  Why wouldn&#039;t you privatize SS and make people responsible for their own retirement? We get higher returns and this pours trillions into the economy (instead of to the government) and probably do a lot more for economic stimulation than any economic stimulus package Clinton and Obama have proposed.  Of course, as a Democratic supporting privatization will not get you the nomination.

Overall: Obama, not perfect, but the lesser of evils and he&#039;ll do a lot to repair our image and build bridges.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>I&#039;m so glad you posted this since so many supporters cannot articulate their candidate&#039;s position.  Since one of these two has a great chance at being the next president, we should really understand what changes they want to make and plans they have for our country (I&#039;m also a firm believer in considering their ability to make these changes happen).  I&#039;m tired of listening to so much shallow, hero-worship, empty rhetoric about candidates...vote for whoever you want but PLEASE know what they stand for!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>This shows how close they are in ideas.

But I think Hillary will be better at getting the job done.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Wow!

I&#039;m an Obama supporter, but it&#039;s refreshing to see someone who isn&#039;t extremely tilted towards one candidate.  Ididn&#039;t know all of that.  My main concern was that &quot;I would have voted differently&quot;, quote from Clinton on Iraq.  McCain would have a field day with that weak comment.  Thanks for the info!&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
