Obama has been accused of being a Communist....during times when he is not accused of being a Muslim (as if Muslims tolerate those atheistic Commies - just another contradiction that reveals the ignorance of Obama's accusers). But how come Silicon Valley capitalists and the richest man in the world - Warren Buffet - are supporting Obama?

Silicon Valley is not your typical left-leaning place. In SV social idealogy and even political views takes a back seat to innovation and developing ideas into a breakthroughs. Very little room or patience for egotrips either. People view business failure not as the end, but as the beginning of their next venture.

Barack Obama's lack of DC experience is a huge plus in Silicon Valley where most of the region's companies were started by young entrepreneurs who had a dream and the smarts to make them come true, his technology agenda and his plan to creating a cabinet-level technology position(excellent idea imo btw) is seen as cutting edge and wildly popular here.

I love the people of Silicon Valley. They are youthful, intelligent and forward-looking. No wonder they back Barack Obama.
