Why I'm voting against Obama
I said months ago that I didn't dislike Barack Obama like I have some other democrat nominees for President. That's changed somewhat but its based more on what his intentions are rather than his personality. Here are two reasons I'll be casting my vote for the Republican on Tuesday.
- Obama is way too inexperienced to be President. From Illinois State Senate to U.S. Senate to President in 4 years? I'm not sure what I'm getting with him. He hasn't been properly vetted by the media, they would rather send 100 people to dig dirt up on Sarah Palin than do research on Obama. I know what I'm getting with John McCain. He served his country in war, served his country in the U.S. Congress for many years. He is the kind of man who is ready to be President now, with no learning curve.
- Democrats controlling the Congress and Oval Office scares me. All the things they want to do will be possible. Tax hikes, universal health care, lax immigration laws, protectionism, abolishment of the death penalty, I could go on but I won't.
I could type much more and delve into his specific politics but these two points sum up my vote. We are still today learning things about Obama, about his opposition to coal, about his illegal Aunt living in Boston, about his attendance and support at a anti-Israel event where there is video but the media refuses to release it. What else is out there?

I agree with you, but here's food for thought. Abraham Lincoln had one term as a representative from Illinois and then two failed attempts at being elected a senator. He managed to be a pretty memorable president.
