I think what we need to do is focus on his policies i.e. apparently pro-partial birth abortion, etc. He’s pro-illegal but then so is McCain! So that’s a no-go. I don’t want to be in Iraq 100 years but I don’t think we should ive it to Al Quida by 1/30/2009 either.

I probably agree with some of his ideas if I understand them properly - the American worker has been left behind in NAFTA, etc. I don’t want to talk to someone in India for tech support. Why can’t we make our own steel? I’m afraid we are bankrupting ourselves. We need our own energy, we do need to re-invest in the US. Drudge says gas could go to $4/gallon. The euro is now $1.50.

I’m not saying I’m voting for Obama....I can’t handle the liberalism....but I can see how he makes sense. I don’t like what our side has been doing. That’s why I liked Fred - I thought he would have taken us back to reality.

I sincerely believe that Obama overestimates the power of the Presidency. He seems to think he can just speak his wishes and they will come true. Even as Commander in Chief he will find that the people he is beholden to, and I don’t mean the voters, will not allow him to simply pull out of Iraq. He can’t just wish universal health care into existence. In fact everything on his limited platform will meet resistance that he cannot imagine. Never has such a naive candidate come so close to being President.

If elected he will be much like Jack Kennedy. A President that truly accomplished little despite the aura of perfection.
