Who would NOT vote for Barack Obama?

Question

Let's pretend, though, that it's 2016 and he's running, so experience is no longer an issue... I realize his voting record can't be predicted, but this is a hypothetical. Obviously, if you always vote republican, you're not going to vote for him, so I don't need that answer. What are other reasons you wouldn't vote for him?

Are there any African-American's who wouldn't vote for him, and why?

Thank you

No, I'm not trying to incite anything. I think he's great, but I'm just trying to see if anyone knows something I don't, especially if they live in Illinois.

Answer 1

I'm from Illinois and I would never vote for him. Partly based on his voting record, and partly based on his moral decisions. First off his voting record - Obama supported a bill that would allow children born after botched abortions to be starved and neglected until they die. That is horrendous. No one with a soul could support such a bill. Secondly, he is not forthcoming with his past, and I feel that he is lying about his present. Obama's father was a radical Muslim from Kenya. He met his mother while studying in Hawaii. When Barack was 2 the couple divorced and his father left. Shortly thereafter his mother married another radical Muslim man. The family moved to Indonesia where Barack attended a school that taught radical Islam. He claims to be Christian now, but he did not join the church until after he was in Washington. Being Muslim is a political death sentence and he is not a stupid man. How many people do you know who stray from the religion they were raised in? Why would Barack convert to Christianity at such a late date if not for political reasons? I believe he hold the beliefs of radical Muslims. That is his heritage. It would be detrimental to us to have Obama in the White house. I would never vote for him.

Answer 2

Well, I happen to live in Illinois right now and have for nearly 30 years, so I think I've got a fairly good feel for the place. I wouldn't vote for Obama because he's an anti-gun, tax and spend liberal. The only reason he won the primary is because he was up against two weak candidates and he had the Chicago machine behind him. That, coupled with the fact that our last governor (a Republican) was so corrupt that the Chicago machine's man was able to run as a reform candidate without getting laughed right out of public life! In that atmosphere, anyone who won the Democratic primary was a shoo-in. Ergo, we now have Senator Barak Obama, who was virtually unknown outside Chicago, and whose name sounds like it ought to be on the terrorist watch list. The Chicago machine is currently pushing to move the Illinois primary from the end of March to the beginning of February next year because they think that will give their man some early momentum. But get this, they're doing it for one year only. It's not about changing the system and giving Illinois voters a shot at the candidates before most of them have dropped out. No, it's all about manipulating the system to give their guy an unfair advantage next year. I hate to burst your bubble babe, but Obama is just like every other political pig. He's not in this for anyone but himself, and like everyone else from Chicago, he's a paid for whore of a corrupt political machine!

Answer 3

I wouldn't vote for him because I don't have enough information about where he stands on issues. I probably never will because the media is in love with him and refuses to ask him any tough questions, let alone try to trip him up on an answer he already gave to see if he is consistent, for example the infamous I voted for the war before I voted against the war statement.

We need more hard information about him, not the comparisons between him and JFK or Lincoln.

Answer 4

I live in Illinois - one of the most sleazy political states you can find. Obama grew up in Illinois politics. True to form it has already been disclosed that Obama and his wife have had financial and political dealings with Tony Rezco, an indicted politico in Chicago. (See the Chicago Tribune) This is probably only the tip of the iceburg -- knowing how things are in Illinois. He clearly has a mezmerizing presence and it it so appealing to want to have a person like him as president, but watch out. What a shame.

Answer 5

I wouldn't vote for him if I didn't like his stances on the issues, or his voting record, or if he's revealed to be a serial murderer or something.

Also, I wouldn't vote for him if I liked the other candidate more.

So, right now he's my 2nd choice in the Democratic Party, and my 5th choice overall. Some of those people will drop off the radar by 2016, but others will probably replace them.

Answer 7

1) I disagree with him on everything
2) He is just another career politician who has hop scotched his way up the political ladder
3) He allows people to portray him as the " Great Black Hope." I hate this racial politics B.S, I'm black but that doesn't mean I should vote for him just because of that. Key Example: Ebony magazine had him and his wife on the cover and it said 'The first black couple.' First of all he isn't black. So technically he would be the first BI-RACIAL president not the first black. If we are going off the 'One Drop Theory' then you could say he would be the first black president.
4) He doesn't give straight answers so that makes him just like the rest.

Answer 8

In 2016 it better not matter what your race is or sex is but what the person running stands for.
As well as it should be in 2008.

Just because a candiate is woman or black shouldn't matter but who is the best to run and represent this country.

Unless Obama make a break from liberalism it aint going to happen.

Answer 9

I'll predict he will continue to vote along party lines. He is a dedicated neo-liberal and will continue to toe the party line and furthering their agenda.

Being a junior Senator with typical committee assignments does not contitute experience. Besides Senators don't have experience in administration or managing a bureaucracy, they have experience in following national party committee orders.

Answer 10

What are you attempting to hear someone say, you eliminated two important matters to voters, experience and political party. Are you looking for a racist remark, I can see this question inciting just that, how sad!
