Obama Passes Clinton

I don't understand all the comments I hear about Obama not having substance. He has clearly defined positions on almost every important issue, positions that are consistent with his actions dating all the way back to the Illinois legislature. Even more important than what he says, though, are his actions.

People keep talking about how much money Obama received, and how many donors, both of which are important to a certain point. MORE important, though, is the fact that not $1 of that $32.5 million has come from a corporation or lobbyist. Do some research on Clinton and see if she can claim that (she can't). If that's not substance, I don't know what is!
