Why I support Barack Obama
I think he has a clear picture of what needs to be done and some great ideas about how to achieve it. He's an eloquent speaker, intelligent, and he seems to genuinely CARE about this country and Americans. Many Americans have lost trust in the current administration and the traditional ways of government operations, and when people's trusts are compromised it is difficult to restore. I think Obama�s plan to revamp what is possible in Washington is commendable. The derailment and abuse of power by the current administration, and the unprecedented unpopular results it is still producing will take many years of labor to mend. The Senator�s aim to work on policy reform while honoring our constitution versus catering to lobbyists and special interest groups stands to reshape the Capital and it stands to trickle down to my home town. I believe Obama is the only candidate that genuinely speaks to the possibility of change in government. I believe he can make a difference.

In these trying times who could possibly clean up after Bush better than someone with first hand experience? Yes, that's one type of experience among a long list of other emphirical criteria, ie., domestic, and forgein policy, labor relations, the ecomomy, health insurance, and immagration, the budget, for starters. A vote for Obama is like gambling the country like a die in a crap shoot. Yeah, he is a great guy, and...do you feel lucky today?
I want a candidate who can do what needs to be done and help those who need to be helped. Obama is not infalable, he is vulnerable and quite corruptable. His real estate endeavors in Chicago clearly revealed that. I believe Hillary is way beyond that sort of petty behavior and self indulgence, she is no kid in a candy store like Obama is. Lastly, we all have seen what a garrish self promoter Oprah can be, she has industrialized Obama's campaign to Godzilla like status, it's seems so pre-fabricated, I am weary of being bulldozed.
The senseless mania of America's youth has been intoxicated by an extremely attractive and charming young man and his cloak of rebellion. To me, his campaign seems transparant, and hollow. Obama is more in the pocket of the democratic upper class than Bush was in the pocket of the oil industry, what a ruse.
I could look it up because, if he voted against it I trust there was some legitimate reason why he did.
I'm almost certain he sponsored it, though.
Looking at the list of amendments, a huge number of them state "Purpose will be available when the amendment is proposed for consideration. See Congressional Record for text." Without going though every single one of these, it is difficult to know which may have been the objectionable amendment. Also, I was unable to locate any pork riders which may have attached themselves to this bill, but those, too may have been objectionable. I will do some more digging.
He has been given a free meal ticket from the media which I think will change shortly. Also when he speaks he actually doesn't give you any specifics about how he will bring about this change. He talks about change in Washington okay we all agree some things need to change but how can you change something if you dont understand it inner workings??????
Also do you think the Republicans are going to give him the "get of jail free card" ???
Sorry I watched him again tonite and he is he a very inspirational speaker but I finished watching his speech and I still didn't get any answers apart from the fact that he voted against the war. I am not sure how this will help me or other Americans in other important issues like the economy, my healthcare, mortgage & home foreclosures, jobs or for that matter the mess that Bush has left us in?
How is this going to change so easily?????
I apologize maybe its me and I am not listening well enough
You might say well does Hillary have the answers and the answer maybe not but at least when you hear her speech you know exactly what she is offering and you know where you stand. I dont know I think that Obama needs to clarify what he stands for in terms of policies and at the moment Hillary for me is the best candidate I hope she continues to run and gives him a run for his money until the end
But isn't he great to listen to? That will not be the case in NOv. He will have to give specifics to the nation. After all it will not be just the Dems listening or voting. How many black and young people's votes he can get? Have no idea but one thing is for sure, the blacks are voting in record number and the young folk are swept away by his WONDERFUL speaking ability. Sounds good doesn't make for a win in the general election.
but how can you change something if you dont understand it inner workings?
Are you a fisherman? If not, have you ever seen what is called by some a bait-casting reel? It looks like a winch, the fishing line being equivalent to a cable being wound around the spool from side to side. This type of reel has always been fairly susceptible to what is termed "spool over-run" or "backlashing". I hand you my reel and it has a serious backlash in it. Do you really need to have seen how the backlash happened in order to fix it? NO. You examine the snarled mess and decide where to begin and eventually you can untangle the line. In the most DIRE circumstances, you can cut out the backlashed tangle. I have never had to resort to this, but, some anglers do.
Another situation for you: a new company president is hired who came from another company. He's new to your company and has never been a president. Your company is in a mess and it's no secret. What is that new president going to do? He is going to study the situation, in a cursory way at first to determine the area of greatest need, then in a more detailed way. While he is making the more detailed study, he will already have begun to make changes based on his preliminary judgements that will help the overall picture. As his detailed conclusions are reached, some will indicate fine tuning needed in this department or that, while other departments may disappear entirely or be wholly unrecognizable after the changes.
I will say this again for those of you who can't comprehend: go to his website, READ HIS PROPOSALS AND SOLUTIONS, and realize that support rallies are not the time or place for "I'm going to do this and this is how". They are to energize the supporters NOT to convert the masses.
Y'all are one damnably thick-headed AND lazy lot! Fortunately, there are consistently more people who are going to Obama. They're just as tired of "same old politics" as I am.
