Guys, visit the political board in the general section. Would be good to get more people debating.
I like Obama's style and respect the man but he is no longer the candidate that 'brings everyone together'. He is to the far left of the democratic party, not a moderate like Bill Clinton.
He wants to increase the power of the government, increase gov influence and control of various aspects of the private sector, increase funding and expand social programs, he will make things harder on small businesses, will increase multiple taxes outside of income (marriage, dividends, capital gains, payroll), and doesn't have any significant executive experience. He plans to increase funding for so many programs but his tax hikes on families making over $250,000 per year DO NOT PAY for these programs. This has been verified by respected economists.
His teachings, mentors and agenda have socialist grounding. Look at his backround...I mean some of the details, and you will learn more much about the man then the recent good speeches. This country has no socialist foundations and we shouldn't be going in that direction.
I am proud that we have a woman & black American running for the highest office in the land this election, but we must look at the details, not just the rhetoric.
