What does being a good speaker/speech writer have to do with being Pres? And I don't believe he writes all of his own stuff. I know that if I wrote all of my own stuff I wouldn't need a teleprompter at all of my apperances. You had me with the vision/hope but being a speaker is the last thing I am looking for in a Pres.
I am a rep but even I admit that I like Obama in ways. If he would drill off shore and in ANWR, not raise corporate taxes and not repeal don't ask don't tell I might consider him. But I feel that those 3 things will have an immediate impact on my daily life and have to vote for someone that votes my way on those 3 things.
A president needs to make people feel comfortable with a calm cool head... Its obvious he has the qualifications to be president... McCain doesnt speak much better than Bush. How sad is that?? I am disgusted that I'm smarter than our president right now. Avg "Joe 6 Pack" shouldn't be as smart or smarter than the president... PERIOD We need the most intelligent, calm, smart thinking high IQ people in office... We tried a "avg joe 6pack" in bush and look where it got us?
Drilling wont be an immediate impact in your life, we wont see any of that oil for close to a decade. How is that going to impact you IMMEDIATELY?
He never said RAISE coorp taxes he said "CLOSE COORP TAX LOOP HOLES" prime Example... Why does Warren Buffett's Secretary pay less taxes than him? is that fair? She makes 60k a year, and he is worth over 50 Billion... Please respond....
The dont ask dont tell thats a personal issue...
