Why does the right have such a fear of Barack Obama?

Answer 1

Because he's bright, well educated, black, articulate and highly electable

Joevette you are wrong why shouldn't felons who have done thier time not be allowed a voice, how many were non violent drug offenders who just got caught with some pot one time too many?And
No this has nothing to do with illegals and everything to do with the elderly & the impoverished, the mandatory ID requirement would pose the risk that the poor and elderly who often do not drive that THEY wouldn't get to vote, it has been proposed that ID's be made free for these groups but the states are harping it would cost too much to give this group of legal citizens the free ID cards they would need. This is called voter disenfranchisement and blocks a group of voters who tend to trend democratic from voting

Answer 2

Barack is a great educated man and for once the middle class will finally have a voice for almost eight years it's like we have been ignored. I don't care who gets in the office as long as somebody turns the table back around to pre-Bush. This is ridiculous.

I don't care about barack's inexperience, who cares? We should be concerned about who is going to help America to get back on their feet and bring our troops home. We are helping a country who is going to never reconcile with each other. But we can't help our own citizens to get affordable healthcare, jobs, and a good educational system. But we can help some people who don't give a crap about each other and that killing is the norm. I don't have a fear of Barack, I do have a fear of somebody getting in the White House and dragging us further down hill.

Answer 3

Obama just lost any chance at my vote by trying to prevent voters from having to prevent ID because according to him it is discriminating. What he is really doing is trying to ensure that the vote of the illegal immigrants is heard. I don't want non citizens getting a say in how we run this country. Call me silly but I think that is why only non felon citizens are allowed to vote, we don't want derelicts running the country.

Answer 4

No fear, just wondering what all the fuss is about. He has very little experience as a politician, his voting record is FAR left and he has no agenda. He was a nobody until Oprah endorsed him on her show

Answer 5

I don't have any fear of him - I don't know enough about him to have an opinion at all. He's too new on the national scene to be considering a run for Presidency, in my opinion, but fear? Nope. Not at all.

Answer 6

I fear that he doesn't have what it takes to be strong in the face of threat. If he gets offended by remarks about his big ears, then, my gosh, how can he face the world?

Answer 7

Because he has no record or experience. This is not the time in our country's history to elect a naive president.

Answer 8

I've often wondered why the left loves his so much. He's charasmatic. He's well spoken. I like him as a person. As a politician, I have no idea where he stands on the issues.

Answer 9

What is there to fear? Is he a terrorist or something? Where did this crazy idea come from?

Answer 10

I am on the right and I do not fear him and he is my Senator. What you on the left describe as fear, is simply the right raising questions about his lack of experience, limited Senatorial voting record, lack of ANY legislative accomplishments, and his extreme left beliefs outside of mainstream America.

He is a highly educated man (undergrad at Columbia, law degree from Harvard). I truly looked forward to a face off between him and Jack Ryan (former GOP candidate for Senate before the IL GOP through him under a bus over allegation that surfaced from his ex-wife during their divorce proceedings) Both candidates were highly educated and accomplished, both good looking, clean cut, articulate and charismatic.

Because of these traits, Senator Obama is very good at public speaking and debate. He makes the appearance, during campaign seasons and public speaking engagements or appearances on Oprah, of being reasoned, centrist, and independent. All of these things he is most certainly NOT - by proof in his voting record in the Illinois General Assembly and in the US Senate. National Journal ranks US Senators based on their liberal or conservative voting records - here are their assessments:
--2005 According to the National Journal - Composite Liberal Score's calculations, in 2005, Senator Obama voted more liberal on economic, defense and foreign policy issues than 83 percent of the Senators.
--2005 According to the National Journal - Liberal on Social Policy's calculations, in 2005, Senator Obama voted more liberal on social policy issues than 77 percent of the Senators.
--2005 According to the National Journal - Composite Conservative Score's calculations, in 2005, Senator Obama voted more conservative on economic, defense and foreign policy issues than 18 percent of the Senators.
--2005 According to the National Journal - Liberal on Foreign Policy's calculations, in 2005, Senator Obama voted more liberal on foreign policy issues than 76 percent of the Senators.
--2005 According to the National Journal - Conservative on Economic Policy calculations, in 2005 Senator Obama voted more conservative on economic policy issues than 12 percent of Senators.
