Obama and the truth

My husband and I have spent a week hearing Democrats attack Obama for "supporting" Reagan. It's ridiculous. I'm so glad he made the point I've been trying to make on his behalf tonight in the debate. He would like to draw support for his policies from Republicans and Independents, just as Reagan drew support from Democrats (against their own economic interest...let's see, can someone on our side get the same effect? Rich people voting against their own economic self-interest??).

I will be beyond sad if Hillary wins the nomination. I think she is the farthest person from a transformative, truth-telling political figure. As Obama said tonight, she'll, "Say anything to win."

Peace.
