Not really against Guliani, he would be my first choice.
Obama appears to be a very moderate voice in the DNC...he talked about personal responsibility like no other Dem I have ever heard.
He may be inexperienced, but I am done with our ruling class elite (Bushs, Cheneys, Kennedys and Clintons)

He voted against requiring medical care for aborted fetuses who survive.But is on record as supporting the right of the doctor to deliver a child to within two inches of birth, thrusting a pair of scissors into the child's cranium, crushing the brain of the child, allowing it to be suctioned out, and then deliver the body of the now dead baby. This procedure is commonly referred to as "partial birth abortion" and the American Medical Association is on record as stating that this procedure is never medically necessary to save the life of the mother.
He supported allowing retired police officers to carry concealed weapons, but opposed allowing people to use banned handguns to defend against intruders in their homes.In 2001, Obama was one of just nine senators to vote against a bill that toughened penalties for violent crimes committed during gang activity.After the Columbine High School shootings in Colorado, Obama voted "present" on a bill requiring juveniles to be prosecuted as adults for firing a firearm on or near school property.Which means he was there but didn't vote.
He downs Bush’s political philosophy of less government control and pushes instead a socilaist agenda.
“But we also know that there are some things we can’t do on our own. There are some things we do better together.
“We have an individual responsibility but we also have a collective responsibility to each other,” he said
Sound familier- Try Castro and Chavez.....
Obama wrote that the wealth and stark racial divisions of Manhattan in the early 1980s had a profound effect on him...
He went to socialist conferences at Cooper Union and African cultural fairs in Brooklyn and started lecturing his relatives until they worried he'd become "one of those freaks you see on the streets around here."
He refers to religious conservatives as “those people” and described them as “heavy-handed.” Then he challenges members of the left to express their “hopes and values” to make them more relevant to evangelicals –– by which he means to capture more of the values voters . He says progressives need to tell their story in the right context. When they get that right, they won’t run into “ideological walls and partisan roadblocks.In the Morris Daily Herald Owen R. Brugh reported that Illinois Senators are opposed to the President's plan to save Social Security.Obama does offer some major policy proposals. The health care system should include affordable state-based “model plans” in which insurers would participate--a proposal that recalls the unworkable, corporate-dominated bureaucracy envisioned in Hillary Clinton’s failed 1994 health care proposal..
I could go on but I gotta go.....

I'm a leftist and I don't like Obama. He's a war-hawk when it comes to Iran, and he's racist toward Iraqis. He thinks that the reason Iraq isn't a paradise right now is because Iraqis are too dependent on the US for security and aren't "stepping up to the plate." It's the old welfare-queen argument with a slightly new look, and it's just as ignorant.
EDIT - Oh, and he also won't publicly say that being gay is not immoral. It's more important for him to win votes from bigots than it is to stand up to intolerance.

you're united states of america isn't in undesirable shape whilst the main extreme offenses comprise, signing a wellbeing care invoice, offering help to NATO. And elevating the debt ceiling much less frequently than your predecessor. he continues to be a Washington chump. yet non-chumps are not allowed to connect the "2 party" oligarchy. To the bizzaro land voters above. Obamacare replaced into no longer an government order people. Article one million, area 8. look it up. conflict Powers act? Are you persons suggesting we are at present at conflict with Libya? Is that truly the argument you prefer to tie your horses to? if so, it quite is naive. What else is there.. oh precise - Karl Rove's delivery certificates tale. no longer even well worth responding to.

He sound like just another Marxist .
He does have a way of stating his version of
Marxism in a way that disguises the reality of it. His Marxist theories have always proved to be WRONG in the light of history, but he has done a good job of restating it for the consumption of the ignorant masses who have been brainwashed by the Hollywood left and their mass media news fronts.

I dont mind his policies even though they are liberal, he seems intelligent. My complaint is that he just doesnt have any experience in anything political let alone running a country in the midst of a complicated war. He has only had 2 years in office, not going to be a good foreign policy maker.

He speaks in vague generalizations, and says nothing.
He has to be gauged by his short record. Strict on guns, liberal on abortion, probably wants tax hikes, and troop withdrawals, weak on immigration, probably opposed to missile defense,.
I don't know anything about him because his statements are mush. I'm not interested enough in him to look.
I support Duncan Hunter.

It is my opinion that Mr. Obama wants a further redistribution of income/wealth, beyond what we already do. We will never live in Utopia- we can't afford it, and I believe Mr. Obama thinks otherwise.
