Yes we can!

Like him or not, this is pretty cool.
For the truth that lies at the heart of theology is not something there to be discovered, but something, or rather someone, to whom we must surrender. The mystery of faith is not ultimately something that invites our questioning, but something that questions us.
Andrew Louth, Discerning the Mystery

While I disagree with most of Barry Obama's political views, he is -- by far -- the best public speaker in the current election process. His speeches are almost Reagan-esque, and his appeal almost Kennedy-esque.

There is no clear conservative in the race in either party right now with the necessary delegate support to win, sadly. If it comes down to a Democrat in the White House, I'd much rather see Obama than another Clinton -- they are equally liberal, but Obama seems to have more integrity and doesn't try to run toward the center. You know what you're getting, at least.

What the part you like best:

Pro-abortion
Pro-gay marriage
His promise to raise taxes
His lack of commitment to national defense and lack of any demonstrated ability to be commander in chief.

Am I missing anything, or are those the things you like best about him?

Or is it just his "charisma"?

I’ve been told that he didn’t “pledge allegiance” at a function and several saw the video. I haven seen it but would like to be able to pull it up. If it is so, as being that I spent three years in the service, that would be total unacceptable to me, no matter what color or sex for a commanding chief. :?: :evil:

Obama said he will invade Pakistan. I suppose we know what war is next. Pull the troops out of Iraq and shuffle them over to Pakistan.

i like the part about tax breaks for companys that stay in the united states. about working with other countries rather than bombing them.and the only thing macain differs on is natinal defense which keep us in war and in the long run weakens our defense. trust me my choice this time is because lack of a republican that shares my veiws.

I think that is the choice of the greater of two evils. However, I could see voting for the Democrat if, and only if, it was because it might help the GOP win back Congress in a few years.
