[...] I don’t really like to write political posts they are tedious and not funny. So as briefly as I can I will try to reflect why I don’t care for Obama and all the hoop-la about the change surrounding his candidacy. I’d like to preface that by saying that in my book Obama gets zero points for being black just like McCain gets no points for being a war hero and a POW. I will subtract few points from Obama for being inexperienced and from McCain for being too old and very likely one-term president. Now that race, military service and experience are out of the way, I’ll try to address Obama’s stance on some issues copied from CNN by a local Obama supporter. [...]

Meesha, why you are so against this man is beyond me, and that statement you made really seems straight out of somebody else's mouth... listening to political talk radio will get you deported :) Obama on the Issues Abortion Supports abortion rights. Immigration Supported Bush-backed immigration reform legislation, which would have increased funding and improved border security technology, improved enforcement of existing laws, and provided a legal path to citizenship for some illegal immigrants. Voted to authorize construction of a 700-mile fence along the U.S.-Mexican border. Iraq Opposed use of military force in Iraq. Voted for war spending bill that would have withdrawn most U.S. troops by March 2008. Supports phased redeployment of U.S. troops. Opposed Bush's plan to send additional troops to Iraq. Had once called for troop withdrawal to begin by the end of 2006. Same-sex marriage Opposes same-sex marriage, but also opposes a constitutional ban. Supports civil unions. Social Security Opposes Bush plan allowing workers to divert some Social Security payroll taxes into private retirement accounts. Taxes Opposed extending 2003 Bush tax cut law through 2010. Supports eliminating marriage penalty and extending child tax credit. Supports scaling back capital gains and dividends tax cuts and re-examining tax benefits for the top one percent of earners.

That’s the point:nobody knows anything about his policy on anything. He got the nomination by repeating general meaninggless statements over and over.

Meesha, I actually understand you. But I have to admit I’m not very familiar with Obama’s political program when it comes to immigration (illegal). I guess I have to inform myself better.

I am sorry to always be negative but I am just amazed how easy is to get people completely brainwashed. Rounding up and deporting all Colombians (or Russians) is also “change we can believe in”. Not everything that’s change is always so great.Not to say his opponent is any better but Obama seems to have an army of follower fanatics and that’s never a good sign. He probably won’t win though but will come pretty close.
