why not vote for obama?

Answer 1

No enough experience. He needs to wait another 10 years because getting the big job. We can not have any more nonsense like learning on the job crap that we suffered through Dubya's administration (I have to preserve his dad's good name, just can't call him by his last name). Hillary got everyone beat in turns of experiences, vision, the ability and the drive to get stuff done. The solutions on Iraq offered by Republican candidates & Obama alike are either non-existent or complete jokes. I am not gonna put a newbie on the job to make things worse.

Hillary would be a dull president. No doubt about it, and completely not what I had in mind for a female US president. She was also brought up as a Republican before switching to Democrates. Hillary is more Republican than most people realize.

Those conservative talkshow hots are really poisoning the political environment by encouraging sensationalism to increase their audience and the audience, for the fools they are, actually believe the yapping of those hosts word by word instead of treating it as entertainment. How can one not worry for the future of this country?

Answer 2

He is too pro-illegal. He voted to give them SS benefits even tho they had not paid into the system while in Illinois. He co-sponsored an amendment to the Amnesty bill that stated employers would not have to check legal status of present employees only new ones. He voted for the Dream Act. But then says he wants to make things better for the middle and low income people when they are the ones who are paying the price of allowing illegals here. Just one reason not to vote for him.

Answer 3

I vote Republican. But I will take Obama over Hilary Clinton anyday.

Answer 4

Tell me what has he done for America??

Answer 5

Because much of what he says conflicts with what he advoactes on stage. He cannot promise to withdraw the troops out by 2013, possibly later and has yet to present a proper exit strategy. He voted in favor of the Patriot Act.. which is a direct infringement on our rights. While I respect the fact that he spoke out against the war before he came into office, he later told the NY Times, had he been in the Senate he may have voted differently. And what about the economy, taxes, social security, not to mention a presidency with him may lead us into another war with Iran or Pakistan, one which he commented he would invade without the consent of the government, and the other where he missed the vote, and never spoke out against and attempted to sponsor a legislation in favor of designating the Iranian National Guard a terrorist organization (he also stated he wouldn't rule out strikes against them) .. And what about his votes making it harder for average citizens to sue big corporations?

not to mention he constantly lies about not being in the pockets of corporations, interest groups and lobbyists, when he CLEARLY is..

"Obama's reliance on such deep-pockets supporters helps explain why he voted for a business-driven "tort reform" bill that rolled back working peoples' ability to obtain reasonable redress and compensation from misbehaving corporations. It is certainly part of why he opposed an amendment to the Bankruptcy Act that would have capped credit card interest rates at 30 percent. It is undoubtedly related to his vote against a bill that would have killed an amendment to the 2005 energy bill that Taxpayers for Common Sense and Citizens Against Government Waste called "one of the worst provisions in this massive piece of legislation." Under the amendment, which passed with Obama's help, U.S. taxpayers are providing millions of dollars in loan guarantees to power plant operators. They "risk losing billions of dollars if the companies default," as Ken Silverstein wrote in the November, 2006 issue of Harper's Magazine ("Barack Obama Inc.: The Birth of a Washington Machine").

"Reliance on corporate cash and power is also likely related to Obama's opposition to the introduction of single-payer national health insurance on the curious grounds that such a welcome social-democratic change would lead to employment difficulties for workers in the private insurance industry and that "voluntary" solutions are "more consonant" with "the American character" than "government mandates." The latter judgment is advanced despite the fact that a large U.S. majority supports government-mandated universal health insurance. "
