Pots and Kettles

“I mean the fact of the matter is that Senator Clinton, you know when she runs this 3 a.m. phone-call ad doesn’t cite and can’t cite any particular experience that makes her more effective in dealing with these issues of national security and when she did have a red phone moment, when we have the most important foreign policy decision of a generation, she got it wrong.”
— Barack Obama
Uh-huh.

And, Senator Obama, you don't and can't cite any particular experience that make you more effective in dealing with issues of national security, either.

You've never had a 'red phone moment' and, in your closest brush with that sort of responsibility that you've had (during your freshman Senatorial campaign), your 'most important foreign policy decision' was likely swayed by your allegiances to a corrupt political 'fixer' and one of Saddam Hussien's money launderers and arms suppliers ...

Now, I just think that you are reaching...McCain, Clinton, nor Obama has ever had true red phone experience...and we all hope that situation never occurs again. But the most recent similar and important red phone moment was when Senator Clinton had an opportunity to vote for or against the war in Iraq…and she chose wrong...and it took her several years to verbally regret that vote to the public...and ironically she voices that regret at her most opportune time...during a debate when she is in desperate need for votes! Also, you would think that all that “experience” that Hillary claims to have would given her the judgment to vote against a war that was clear to most as wrong…so personally…I don’t feel so great about her answering the phone at 3am…because I’m not sure that she will make the best decision for our country…and that’s just my intellectually honest perspective!

Oh, by the way...you are reaching yet again by attempting to draw a connection between Barack Obama and Saddam Hussien...you choose to deflect against the real issues so you choose to result to scare tactics which generally works on the cerebrally challenged! ~Think about it America!

Now, see, you're the one who is 'deflecting', not to mention creatively re-writing history.

You say:
"Also, you would think that all that 'experience' that Hillary claims to have would given her the judgment to vote against a war that was clear to most as wrong ..."

At the time that we went to war in Iraq, more than 70% of America supported it. Thus, it apparently wasn't 'clear to most' that it was wrong.

Beyond that, Obama himself is a bit 'conflicted' on what to do in Iraq. He said we would redeploy unless al-Qaeda set up bases there, until he was reminded (by Sen. McCain) that al-Qaeda already has bases there.

So, then, would he re-deploy or not? We don't know for sure, because he didn't answer. He decided it would be better to simply deflect the question and then he blamed the United States for their presence.

That's not an answer, and it's not a plan, and more than 'voting for the war before voting against it' was.

And, you didn't bother to address the Obama-Saddam question at all. Calling something 'fear tactics' doesn't address the reality that there is a direct link from Senator Obama to the regime of Saddam Hussein. That is deflecting.

Auchi's money helped pay for the deal that got Obama his house (SOURCE), and Auchi donated, though his company Fintrade Services, to Barack Obama in 2005 (SOURCE).

Ignoring it doesn't make it go away.

You can also read more (not that I expect you will) in the Wall Street Journal, where they drew the same connections I did.
