# Good politicians and bad politicians
The fact that Barack Obama had the stones to stand against the Iraq war when typical politicians like Hillary Clinton were happy to believe the BS 'evidence' because they knew that was what constituents wanted to believe, makes Obama alright in my books.
If the blogs I follow are anything to go by, the weight of opinion on the Internet certainly seems in favour of Obama. I wonder whether the online excitement will translate into real-world success against Clinton, though. It would be cool if it did, but it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't.
Apart from feeling compelled to share that opinion, I intend to care as little as possible about the US elections this year.
