[Peace] OBAMA - NOV 1

[C. G. Estabrook]

Adam--

Obama's remark on attacking Iran suggests that his position on the war is
little different from Kerry's liberal imperialism:

His domestic policy has been, it seems to me, rightly critiqued by Paul
Street, "Keynote Reflections":

Given that Obama will surely win, I'll vote for independent candidate
Albert Franzen, who seems to hold to withdrawal from Iraq and universal
single-payer health-care -- neither of which Obama supports.  Even the
Libertarian candidate, Jerry Kohn, is better than Obama on Iraq (along
with admittedly the usual Libertarian silliness).  

Regards, Carl
