I don't like him because he lacks experience, among the many things he lacks -- and then I think about his wife and I don't like his wife either because it appears that she doesn't really like white Americans very much.

How 'bout you? Are you a Democrat who dislikes Obama? And why?

Default Huge Government.

I dislike him because his fix for everything is more government. The government needs to take care us is his primary belief. What ever happened to "Ask not what your country could do for you, but what you could do for your country." We need less government, less taxes, more freedom.

I agree.

I can't say I "dislike" him, though. I CERTAINLY dislike his supporters and their thuggishness and I definitely dislike his campaign. But I simply disagree that he's ready and able to be president and I don't agree with what I've heard from him. I don't think he has a clue about how to fix the economy and I think he'd be a disaster with foreign policy.

Because his level of dignity, character, depth, and versatility is unrecognizable by the uneducated. These are people who can only understand Hillary's simple-minded rhetoric, empty promises, hollow presentation, and meaningless "experience."

You seem pretty condescending. So Obama supporters are the only people that are educated? My question to you would be. Why do you want to give the government more of your hard earned money. They have proven they cannot spend it wisely. That seems foolish. You can be educated and also be a fool.

Would you give a drug addict more drugs. Why give people power over you. I would rather keep my money and spend it wisely.

Seems like those who prefer Hillary for her "experience" ought to just go for the gusto, and support McCain. Perhaps they fear that Obama would beat McCain so they are trying to hedge their bets? Who knows.

But as seen with the popular vote and delegates, the actual Democrats do like Obama. The people who are "not sure which party they'll vote for if Hillary loses" are NOT Democrats.

Dislike Obama?

No group really "dislikes" him aside from the most fervent Hillary Supporters trying in vain to make us think there's a dislike-when you think they will sink no lower, they manage to lose some more credibility.

I don't trust Obama. I don't think he is capable of running the country. His leftist-socialist leanings scare me. He is unclear on some of the issues and is good at avoiding being pinned down. Therefore a lot of people don't really know his position. He also has changed his position on some issues. I'm not sure how he would handle a crisis situation.

As President he becomes Commander in Chief of the largest and stongest military in the world. I just can't see Obama in that role.

In short Obama can talk the talk but he can't walk the walk!
