Franklin Pierce Law Dean endorses Obama

Out-spoken civil liberties expert John Hutson, the Dean of the Franklin Pierce Law School in Concord, endorsed Barack Obama's presidential campaign this morning.

Hutson, a retired Navy rear admiral, said Obama would bring a "welcome breath of fresh air" to the military.

"Clinton is a known quantity and the military I think generally wasn't wild about President Clinton and I think there will be a great deal of skepticism about another President Clinton," said Hutson. "The military will do what they've been asked to do, but i think that a fresh face and a person who has good judgment will be a welcome breath of fresh air."

Huston went further implying that Hillary Clinton was part of a Congress that was "saber rattling" with shallow demonstrations of tough talk" on Iran.

"I think that you compare Senator Clinton's position on Iran and Senator Obama's, the military generally is going to feel more comfortable with diplomacy first," he said.
