Well, when the scared left starts insulting and fact-less threads, wouldn't you expect the right to counter it? Do you expect everything to be one sided? Well, maybe you do. That is what the left tries to do. They try to control or twist information to stop the truth from being revealed. After all, the truth never favors the left.

I don't dislike the man, just don't want him running the country.
He offers no real solutions.

Something wierd is going on when a man with such little experience is a footstep away from the Presidency. And before his 3.5 years in the Senate, he was what? A community organizer? He's a great speaker but where is the real substance? I say we need change, does that qualify me to be President? And his name is Barack Hussein Obama? I don't trust that he isn't a terrorist in disguise trying to hijack this country from within. That aside, he is totally unqualified to be President. Yet young people are lining up, virulently supporting his policy of higher taxes, fewer jobs, more government spending, and bigger deficits.

You're leaving out his life after 1988, when he left his work as a community organizer and enrolled at Harvard Law School:
Quote:
After being a community organizer, He went on to earn his law degree from Harvard in 1991, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Soon after, he returned to Chicago to practice as a civil rights lawyer and teach constitutional law. Finally, his advocacy work led him to run for the Illinois State Senate, where he served for eight years. In 2004, he became the third African American since Reconstruction to be elected to the U.S. Senate.

I think Republicans hate Obama because of the tax increase. That is what I hear day in and out on FOX. I also think it's because he was proving to be a threat to the way things are being done in Washington. He is an outsider to them.
