Obama is young and has a patronizing attitude. For me that does not bode well for a Commander in Chief. He lacks the experience to lead us out of the Bush Era.
I've noticed a very stark difference between Obama and Clinton.
Clinton is non stop, blame Republicans, blame Republicans.
Obama, non stop, come together, join together, and work out the problems.. Anyone else?
I don't agree with Obama on a lot of issues, but I do very much like that he speaks in terms of uniting rather than blaming. It's refreshing. He has an optimism that reminds me of how Reagan presented himself to the American people ... and I mean that in a good way. I think it will serve him well as the campaign rolls on.
Reaganomics were one of the worst things that ever happened to this Country. He bloated the economy with fake money (International Loans) and then left us saddled with debt. If Obama is anything like Reagan we are in trouble.

Reagan, thats funny because I thought of the same exact president when watching Obama speak.
At some point.. The Democrats will need the Republican voters to vote for them, (called the Primary), continuing to try to divide the nation, especially during the elections isnt a way to win an election.

This is exactly the kind of blame-and-divide stuff that Obama seems to avoid ...
I said Obama's optimism reminds me of Reagan's. That's all.
Obama's a little too optimistic and gliterry. I like Edwards better. He puts blame where it lies, but I don't think he's all that divisive. I want somebody with some will to fight, if that means taking a few swipes at a few Republicans I don't see the problem, as long as you can appeal to independents. Obama doesn't seem to be talking much about just what he's going to do to make things better (other than he's optimistic and "believes in America"), but Edwards has the plans. I mean, I don't know exactly what Obama stands for, other than he voted against the Iraq war, which isn't my top issue, and he claims to have some way to expand healthcare and bring jobs back. Edwards OTOH makes no bones about the fact he's going to fight badguys from day one.
Hillary? I have no idea about. I like her better than any Republican but I would prefer she lose.
Obama is a very passionate speaker. He's very inspiring.
I don't think he would be the best leader because he's too optimistic and he lacks experience. He may have fabulous ideas but he's going to have half of the people in Congress and the Senate working against whatever it is he wants to accomplish automatically because they are in the other party. He hasn't been around long enough to build up the allies and I don't think he has many politicians who owe him favors. He'd have a hard time accomplishing what he wants.
As much as people want "change" -- when you deal with Washington, you get more of the same. It's the way our system of government was set up to function. Blame our forefathers.
The fact he's getting young people to vote for him is fabulous. What better way to learn that you don't always get what you hope for?
