I'm an Obama supporter and today, good job Senator Clinton

Regardless of how I feel about how the primary campaign was run, her statement today about McCain and Iraq serve as reminders to me and everyone else that even when we Democrats are fighting each other, that we are ultimately on the same side and that if she were the apparent victor at this point instead of Obama, that I would be much happier voting for her than either not voting or voting for McCain.

Today's statement (from CNN):

Clinton: McCain's '2013′ speech like 'Mission Accomplished'
Posted: 11:25 AM ET

From CNN Political Producer Alexander Marquardt
Sen. Hillary Clinton speaks at a town hall meeting in Portland, Oregon, Friday

PORTLAND, Oregon (CNN) - At a Friday night town hall in Oregon, Senator Hillary Clinton criticized Senator John McCain for his speech predicting victory in Iraq by the end of his first term.

"It sounded a lot like 'Mission Accomplished,' only postponed into 2013," said Clinton, referring to President George Bush's declaration less than two months after the Iraq invasion that major combat was over. "From my perspective, it's just more of the same. It's a continuation of the Bush policies that have been failures."

She also went after Bush for comments he made in Jerusalem on Thursday when he took a shot at Democrats — and many argue Obama — saying, "some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals," drawing parallels with appeasing the Nazis in 1939.

"I am very offended by President Bush's remarks which seem to suggest that Democrats are the equivalent of Nazi appeasers," said Clinton. "That was way out of line and really outrageous and should be rejected out of hand."
