I don't know much about Obama, nor does anyone else because he has done nothing. However, I do know that my Democrat relatives in Illinois, the state that knows him the most, do not like him at all.
To Barack Hussein Obama, I say NO!

No, what?

Did you mean, "No, don't drop out of the race"?

Speak for yourself. I know a lot about him, I've done a lot of research on his track record the past 2 years in Senate and when he was in office in Illinois. I've also read both of his books.

And everyone I know in Illinois loves him...

I have relatives in Owassah that tell me that they know people who have heard that they have seen people who know that devil worship is alive and well there being practiced by Baptists who operate out of fake churches. Course I don't know if its true, but I'll never go to Owassah now!

Everyone I have talked to wants to know more about him at least, and several are excited as could be.  While I cannot vote for Obama I will certainly join up with the campaign!  Thanks for the link!

To quote gongol.com :
"A vote for Senator Obama is a vote for old socialistic platitudes: No reform (//%22http://obama.senate.gov/news/050506-obama_addresses_veterans_care_abortion_social_security/index.html%22) for Social Security, no real fix (//%22http://obama.senate.gov/news/060427-us_senators_talk_medicare/index.html%22) for Medicare, and no freedom of trade (//%22http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=1&vote=00170%22). On economic policy, the Senator has nothing to offer."

Including an economic score card for potential candidates:
http://www.gongol.com/research/nation/2008candidates/

The guy is a great public speaker and a very appealing politician.  He is young, a minority, and nice looking.  But his experience is lacking  and his economic policy is backwards.  I believe his solution to everything can be summed up by 'tax more and spend to fix the problems.'  He fails to mention the tax more part, but its inherent in his spend more provision coupled with his balance budget rhetoric.

If he were elected, the goods news is I think he would do well for our international image and relations.  Probably not so much on the business side of things since it looks like he would be all for starting trade wars... but gotta see the bright side.  Then again, with a candidate this green its hard to really say what he would do.
