Must See: One Hour Discussion with Obama on Specific Policy Issues

Click to Watch the New Hampshire Telegraph Editorial Board Interview with Obama

This video gives you a comprehensive understanding of Obama's specific views on policy decisions. It is about an hour long, but it's well-worth it because you get to see him respond to questions without the sound-bite format the debates create. After watching this debate, I became more convinced than ever that he is the right man for the job. The questioning was conducted by The New Hampsihre Telegraph before they decided to endorse him. They questioned all the candidates and this is the conclusion they came to as to why they chose him over the others. I couldn't agree more:

During our editorial board meetings with each of the primary contenders, candidates worked hard to define themselves on issues and on character.

During these meetings, Obama stood out; he thought deeply about the answer to each question we asked him. He spoke neither in safe, pre-scripted talking points nor in divisive polemic. He was able to give nuanced answers to questions without sounding like he was avoiding taking a position.

And he, better than any of the other candidates, was able to define common goals that make for common ground, while debating the issues that divide the country most deeply.

I already knew that I agreed with Obama on the issues more than I did with any of the other candidates, but I have a newfound respect for the man's intellect and sincerity after watching the video. I stongly recommend you watch it. If I find a YouTube clip of it, I'll make sure to post it. Or, for that matter, if you find a YouTube clip of it, post it in the comments section and I'll add it as an entry.
