About Obama:

He said that we have a duty to stand up for the soldiers that we send, and that John Kerry understands this.

My immediate reaction was “so why did he vote against the $87 billion (for bullet proof wests, etc) after he voted for it?”.

Also, maybe it’s me being oversensitive for “unsaid arguments” (they are used a lot here):

After he described where he came from, he talked about how everyone should have the opportunity to get an education no matter where they come from. The unsaid argument seemed to be that he would not have been where he is if that was not so, and that only with democrats in charge will this be possible.

Obama graduated from Columbia U in 1983, and from Harvard in 1991…

Maybe it’s because I live where I do that I reacted to it, but that type of unsaid argument is very common among the left here.
