Question

Why did Obama attack Clinton on her Iraq War vote, then pick Biden as VP who voted with Hillary on the war?

Answer 1

Politics produces strangebedfellows all the time.

Answer 2

When a person campaigns they look for everything that a person has done that voter's might not like. They bring this to the attention of others. It has nothing to do with anything except making a person look bad. She said he was involved with a crook who sold him land. Well, McCain is probably buying up houses from the mortgage crisis & who knows who he is buying them from. I don't know who I bought my house from. I know I have republican friends that are buying houses at cheap prices & renting them out. These people treat me good but I don't know who they are buying their houses from so why does it matter. They just get the best investigative teams out to make a person look bad. Biden is very appealing because of all her knows about this subject so it is a different time now we have to be in the moment to evaluate & now this is all a good thing....Most republicans said McCain was Pro-choice but didn't like Huckabee because he wasn't & now McCain admits he is for having girls use coat hangers & bleeding to death at home rather than being able to see a Dr. that is an antiquated as not have mental health servies & making suicidal people stay home rather than get help. I worked in a hospital & can't imagine not having the psych dept.

Answer 3

Because that's how politics works.

Answer 4

Biden also chaired the Judiciary committee. Obama will probably send him to to represent the US at the World Court in prosecution of Bush, Cheney , Rumsfeld, et al for crimes committed against humanity.  

Answer 5

Because politics are also about pragmatism. Too much so, sadly, and that's why we always end up with candidates who promise and promise and talk about change, and then nothing happens, when reality sets in.

Answer 6

You cant trust people in politics you know, they flip flop no matter what, but hey we all make mistakes  

Answer 7

Biden is a coreless liar who will bend to the will of Osama Hussein Obama, the African princeling.

Answer 8

good question.  in the end the Iraq war is as much these people's fault as George W. Bush..Cheney, and Rumsfield..they are equally responsiblible for this affaiar.

Answer 9

because all politicians are retarted.

Answer 10

because Obama is confused and inexperienced

Answer 11

No morals is Obama's biggest problem and he believes his supporters won't remember what happened in the past.

Answer 12

haven't you learned by now that you can't judge the extreme left by

past performance!  all that matters is the moment, and the fact that

they have nothing but the "best" of intentions!

Answer 13

His connection to Iraq also has a more personal note. His son, Beau Biden, Delaware's attorney general, is a captain in the Army National Guard, and his unit is set to be deployed to Iraq shortly.

"He'll go… I don't want him going," Mr Biden said recently.

Although he voted to approve the Iraq war, he started warning of the costs of a long occupation of Iraq before it began.  

Answer 14

Obama flips like a fish out of water.
