Obama on Iraq, part 2

Posted: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 9:47 PM by Domenico Montanaro

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
I could be wrong, but I haven't heard Obama use this one before about having the same voting record as Clinton on Iraq once he entered the Senate: "Once we had driven the bus into the ditch there are only so many ways to get out." He then again implied Clinton didn't have judgment as good as his was, since she voted for the war.

On Pakistan, Obama was very clear in explaining his position. And then he hit Clinton again on voting for the war.

When asked if she would reserve the right to strike again if Iraq was attacked, Sen Clinton would not respond to the question saying she doesn't deal in hypotheticals, however when she made the promise for 200,000 new jobs in NY she said she was basing that promise on Al Gore in being in office.  Is that a hypothetical?
