It would be a much shorter list to tell us what is good
about obama. Care to try?
I will start by beginning the list of what is wrong with him:
1. He has already promised to raise the marginal tax rates.
Q: Is McCain going to go after you as another classic liberal tax and spender?
A: Well, I'm going to go right back at McCain, because look at his tax proposals. He not only wants to continue some of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and corporations, he actually wants to extend them, and he hasn't told us really how he's going to pay for them. It is irresponsible. And the irony is he said it was irresponsible. When George Bush initiated these tax cuts in 2001, McCain said, "This is shameful." He said that it offended his conscience, he said, for us to give tax breaks to the wealthy, particularly at a time of war. If you look at my approach to taxation, what have I said? I said I would cut taxes for people making $75,000 a year or less. I'd cut taxes for seniors who are making $50,000 a year or less. It is true that I would roll back the Bush tax cuts on the wealthiest Americans back to the level they were under Bill Clinton, when I don't remember rich people feeling oppressed.
2. He has promised to bring socialized medicine to America.
This one I agree on, I am sick of paying for everyone else to have something I work hard for.
3. He wants to talk to iran, n. korea, syria, and other rogue nations without conditions.
I believe in talking. Many great things have happened from talks. Maybe the world would be less likely to hate us if we stopped invading countries for no reason.
4. He belonged to a black separatist church for 20 years, listening to hateful, racist sermons.
Like I have said before, I have attended Catholic church my whole life and I don't agree with some of the main things they stand for.
5. His friend william aires is a terrorist that bombed the pentagon and did other terrorist acts.
Where is your facts about being a friend? Obama knew him. Thats it

6. He vowed to bring troops back from iraq.
It is a mistake to be there in the first place. We should have been dealing with Bin-Laden, but GW couldn't get to him so he had to save face and attack somebody.
7. His wife is a loose canon that hasn't been proud of America in all her adult life until now.. even though she makes A LOT of money.. hardly the average citizen.
Somedays it is hard to be proud of this country. I love my country and what it stands for, but there are some things that I am just not proud of that our society and government do.
8. In his book, the audacity of hope he made the comment that 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly
direction.'
Did you read the book?
He wrote on page 261 of The Audacity of Hope
“In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly: they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during WWII, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
9. He believes that if a partial birth abortion goes bad and the baby is born, it is OK to kill it after it is born.
I doubt this.
10. He is completely naive of world affairs. And of American affairs for that matter.

I appreciate your try, It is alot better than most come up with like this Moron:
Weiners like you will be crying to your momma someday!............
Do you guys even realize that Obama did not have his hand over his heart at the national anthem and not the pledge of alleigence. During the national anthem not everyone puts thier hand over their heart.
People want to scare us with lapel pins and Muslims. Tom DeLay wore a lapel pin when he was arrested. **** Cheney wore a lapel pin when he said there were "weapons of mass destruction" and that we would be "greeted as liberators" by the Iraqi people. 4,000 Americans dead. I wonder if Cheney wore a lapel pin when he got five deferements from military service.
Inform yourself and then judge. God Bless.

I am not voting for McCain at this point. Right now I plan to write in Ronald Reagan. You sound like your falling for the whole media rich against poor class warfare tactic. Somehow you think that there is an economic pie and there is only so much to go around. Fact is, businesses don't pay one cent in taxes. The taxes they pay are passed on to the consumer. That would be me and you. So to raise taxes on ANYONE is hurting EVERYONE. There is no opinion involved on weather we should stay in iraq or not. We are there, we need to finish it right. We can argue all day weather we should have been there in the first place. That is legitimate. But to leave now is a very bad thing. It is a mater of respect to put your hand over your heart when the flag is being honored. Especially for a man who wants to be president. He is so inept that he can't even go through the motions. Same thing with his knuckle bumping with his wife. That is improper. It is disrespectful. When I saw that picture, honestly, that is the first time in my adult life that I have been so very disapointed in this country, that a man like this could get so close to being the president. You can doubt the abortion thing all you want. Research it. It is true. So your not scared of muslims? Read some of the koran. It is very specific. william ayers is a fact also. A man running for president shouldn't be associated with this type of person. It really makes you wonder about his decision making skills. His church is very different than most any Christian church. There is so much that they teach that is wrong, that you would have to disagree with so much to be a mainstream person that there is no way this could go on for 20 years. Another bad decision. His writing in his book that you quoted makes the case for me. He is saying that if your an imigrant that you have to watch your back. Far from it. If you do it legitimatly, your one happy camper. The illegals are the problem. They should watch there back.. bounty hunters should round them up and deport them. Talking to iran is a serious mistake. You can not have one argument that would change there mind. If a president went over there to talk, there media would have a field day spinning it, and would give credibility and athority to them. You have to realize, as a rational American, that not every one thinks like us or reasons like us. They are finatics that are bent on killing us.
