I think Obama will restore some individual constitutional rights that have been trampeled upon by the Bush administration.

I think Obama will bring back the fiscal responsibility that Bush lacked. Bush inherited a budget surplus, gave it all away as tax cuts, and drove this country deeper into debt than it has ever been before. Obama will get us back on track.
I could see Obama working towards Environmental issues.. which is great.

I don't think Obama will improve the perception of the US around the world. He is a good speaker, but the guy doesn't even take the time to prepare for debates? And if he did prepare and still did that poorly then that speaks even louder for the type of president he will become.

Bush did inherit a budget surplus but everyone seems to ignore the fact that the economy was already going down rapidly. I am not saying Bush didn't contribute and amplify the problem, he did.. there's no denying that, but we would still be in this downward slope.

If anyone does market analysis they can tell you that the market works in a sloping trend that repeats itself. There are ways you can predict this trend and take measure to try to counteract it. The Clinton administration was warned several times

So if you're using the republican ticket to be able to point your finger at McCain then I think you should look elsewhere. The problem began at the end of the Clinton administration, Bush screwed it up worse.. both Individuals are to blame for this.

Most of your post I agree with on some level.. but I still don't feel strongly enough about Obama... at the same time I don't feel so strongly about McCain.

They are both weak candidates whom are not ideal for the American people.
