...shows a command of the issues during debates. But having listened to several of Senator Obama's speeches and read all his policy statements as well as his books, I believe Obama is equally informed and perhaps even more intelligent. What's more, the positions he's taking now aren't just concepts he came up with on the campaign trail because they tested well in polls; he wrote about them in his books years ago.
