Good Lord! I have listened ad nauseam. It's the "how" aspect of his vision in helping people that many people (47% of those that voted) don't agree with. If you were to read his words as opposed to listen to them while he whoos you with his charismatic, preacher voice and tone you may have a better understanding as to why so many people are concerned having this guy as President.

I would vote for the guy in a second, but I'm a strong believer in gun rights, stomping out terrorism that threatens America around the globe, a strong immigration policy, drilling for oil until alternative energy comes on line, less government, lower taxes and pro-life legislation. Unfortunately, Obama is not.

Not one person I have spoken with that voted for Obama could provide me with a valid reason why they voted "for" Obama. Most responded with because they hated Palin, thought McCain was too old, thought Obama would improve the economy (although none could give me an explanation as to how because they don't know economics from their elbow), pull troops immediately out of Iraq (which he has since toned down on) or we can have alternative energy and automoblies within his first year in office (riiiiight).
