He is the most pro choice candidate in history. He is a proponent of partial birth abortion. “He opposed the ban on partial-birth abortion -- a practice a fellow Democrat, the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, once called "too close to infanticide." Obama strongly criticized the Supreme Court decision upholding the partial-birth ban. In the Illinois state Senate, he opposed a bill similar to the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which prevents the killing of infants mistakenly left alive by abortion. And now Obama has oddly claimed that he would not want his daughters to be "punished with a baby" because of a crisis pregnancy -- hardly a welcoming attitude toward new life…. These trends reached their logical culmination during a congressional debate on partial-birth abortion in 1999. When Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer was pressed to affirm that she opposed the medical killing of children after birth, she refused to commit, saying that children deserve legal protection only "when you bring your baby home." It was unclear whether this included the car trip.” – the Washington Post

His plan for Iraq is short sighted.
His declared plan to intervene in the case of genocide in places like Darfur while commendable for its humanity is also shortsighted. I would love to see how he would answer the following question “Mr. Obama do you plan on reinserting troops into Iraq after you pull them out when the death squads and militias start ethnic cleansing again to stop the insuring genocide.(NOTE: to all of you who tuned out the last four years, before the surge Iraq was an inch away for all out ethnic civil war. It would have made Rwanda or the Balkan wars of the 1990’s look tame. This could and most likely WILL happen if we pull troops out prematurely.)
Biden is only helpful to America when his party is in the minority. In this role he is an annoying and effective counterbalance to corruption and rubber stamp policies.
He has used language in a criminal manner, pumping slogans and lacking substance. (yes we can, I believe in hope, Hope we can believe in. I can go on. What do these saying tell me about what he will do? Nothing.)
He has prayed on the idealism of youth. I have so many friends who love him for no reason other than he is young and black and a good public speaker and supporting him makes them feel good and cultured and like they are part of something bigger than them. None of these feelings and warm fuzzies will set national policies that will effect them.
He has painted himself as an outside when in fact he is a Chicago insider.
I don't want to be tucked in by the government every nite.
Government is not the solution it is the problem.
