Clinton and Obama: Who is stronger on terrorism?

After the first question, there was some space between them on their answer to a question about how they would respond to a domestic terrorist attack.  Obama expressed concern that we carefully deal with international colleagues.  Clinton made it clear that retaliation against the enemy would be right in her sights if the blame could be clearly identified.
I thought it was going to stand that way and he would be viewed as more reserved in international aggression.

Yet this didn't stand, Obama needed to come back and use another question to assure people that he thinks that a serious military response is sometimes called for.

Then he gets in a fight with Kucinich and he is the hawk.  No, it isn't your imagination.  He aligned himself purposely with the views of  Hillary Clinton.

Obama!
I was disappointed with Obama's hardline comments about Iran. Who is he trying to appeal to, Republicans? He's going to alienate the people who have gotten him this far.
No, you are in error. It was Congressman Kascinch attacked his statement of taking no options off of the table. Senator Obama was correct in this statement, and Kascinich should consider, something that President Kennedy stated once, as the Congressman oftens refers to him, that he once referenced the symbol of the Presidency, and noted,"That the Eagle has both the Olive branch and also the Arrows of war, and we shall give due attention to both." Nothing taken off of the table.
hilary clinton was a clear winner./shes the best one/smart/talented and very knowledgebale. i know then the hillary is the best. ur clairvoyant/phsychic lady
hilary is the ebst debater- with substance. -i know the lcntn is the ebst u know it and i know it.
Obama was better than Clinton hands down. Clinton looked so rehearsed. Same old sound bites that we have heard over and over again. Kudos Joel for supporting Obamas view on Iran taking note that the symbol of the president bears both the Olive branch and arrows of war
