I can give you a long list of what Obama can't do or why not to elect him... How about some "Factual" items of what he has done that were successful....

I can figure on a short list if at all, but if you are going to whine because you like him and don't know why other than "Change", then skip this thread.

Hiltler, Stalin and a host of others chanted "Change" too, and it wasn't what the Masses were figuring on.

So Show just cause why I should vote for Obama. I don't intend to, but would like to hear why I should.

Well Palin has been in politics almost as long as Obama, has run a local government agency as mayor, then one of the largest energy states as Governor and been pretty popular and successful at it. She is also the Commander of the Alaska National Guard which currently has troops in the Middle East. Oh, and she has the highest public opinion poll of any Governor of the Country and better than the US Congress or the President.

Obama did what? He ran with a herd of State and Federal Senators that as a "Single" person, have very little to no authority to govern. The public projects he ran into the ground cost millions of other people's money and had no positive results.

So what has Obama done to make him worthy of my vote?....

So far, I hear dribble....

Had the masses actually wanted to they could have turned on Hitler or Stalin in a heartbeat. But those masses willingly went beyond what Hitler and Stalin could ever imagine.

Just like the "masses" that voted Bush in twice, then blamed him for our current problems.

That still isn't anything that would cause me to vote for Obama, or do you know of any.... So far nobody has anything positive to say about Obama on why I should concider him...

Sweetiepie, if your mind isn't made up by now ... putting polls on this message board isn't going to help. I have a feeling you are voting for McPalin anyway.

Bush and America were attacked on 9/11, he has since gone after those that did and those that supported terror against the US. The result has been the last seven years of no more mass attacks on our people that were occurring every six months or so when Clinton was President. Without peace, our economy is nothing. The next time NY gets hammered, it will be in a vapor cloud and most will wonder what happened, and it will be because we let our guard down. Whomever is President this next round.

Still dribble, why should I vote for Obama?
