Except that you haven't done even the most basic of research on Obama before coming to your conclusions. Any unbiased, non-neo-con can see that this man is the most special candidate we've had in a generation and his accomplishments are numerous and span all of his 48 years. Denying that is simply exposing your own bias and ignorance. Hitler was very special, too. Jim Jones' Peoples Temple members thought HE was special too. Obama has Charisma. But he lacks substance. Look, I liked Obama early on, and even posted elsewhere that I could possibly vote for him -- just based on his speeches. But when I investigated his history, it became clear that he was an extremist, that he lacked experience, and frankly, that he cannot be trusted to have America's interests at heart. You and I disagree about him. Why can you not let it go? It could be I'm a better judge of character than you are. That's why we each get to vote as we see fit. You go vote for a neophyte without a significant accomplishment to his name. I'm not doing it. I'm through researching him because (a) he doesn't meet the basic qualifications as a president, and (b) he is too liberal for my tastes. But I also think he is unelectable. The American people want a strong pro-American president, and there is a lot of anti-Americanism bottled up in Obama. You're an extreme liberal, I'm not. So you vote for him. I'll vote for McCain because Huckabee isn't the candidate.
