They should be and that's why I can't back Obama.

Ideas:
-I don't like his plan for universal health care
-He has proven that he has no concept of military strategy
---But yet this is the man that wants to put us into Darfur
-He's not really for drilling for oil here in the states
-Raising taxes such as capital gains isn't going to help the economy

Intellect:
-Smart man, no problem there
-Multitude of "present" votes in state legislature instead of a commitment vote
-144 days of Senate and a pretty speech doesn't equate to being qualified for being the President

Character:
-Rev. Wright
-The Trinity Church
-Tony Rezko
-William Ayers
-Brother living on a dollar a day
-When in a bind, play the race card
-The same platform that he used to beat Clinton now seems to be a thing of the past....decietful

I agree that these are things that ALL voters should look at.

Have a good one!:s4:
