I think Obama is a smart guy, but I just disagree with most of his ideas on what will fix our problems.

People understand "drill now" in a of seconds. "Kill the terrorist" takes even less time to get people on board. But trying to explain who are and are not terrorist just takes to much time.

Obama's grasp of the complete picture is why I am voting for him, but is also IMO his greatest liability as well.
I agree.

Remember all the mileage "Flip flop!" got? It's even still getting it...with different candidates.

The whole "You Dems are just scared!" glass-eyed drone on here is pretty much the same thing. Give a non-thinker a tagline and he or she will run with it for...well, years.

Or the liberals who actually believe foreign terrorists are covered by our bill of rights.
