Hill and the Big O say NO

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama cave to the angry anti-American, anti-war at any price Left, voting no on the bill to fund our troops in Iraq. Tribune story here.

These two want to be commander in chief and they can't support our troops in this most fundamental way. They would deny our soldiers reinforcements and equipment when these brave Americans are laying their lives on the line every day to protect us and our way of life.

These two want us to believe they would have the guts to face down evil dictators and vicious terrorist killers when they can't even face down the Nutroots on the Left?

I've thought for a long time Obama was all hat, no cattle, as they used to say about Bush, (unfairly, I might add) but the Hillary vote disappoints. She's going to be in trouble on this one for the general election, because not only does she have her very liberal background to overcome (working for hard-leftist Saul Alinsky), she has the making-the-world-safe-for-Osama legacy of her husband's administration. And she wants to be commander in chief, the leader of the free world, without having managed more than her own campaigns.

You will also note she waited for Obama to vote, before casting her own no vote. Lots of political courage there.

They were for the troops...before they were against them.
