with obama besides the church issue though hes really not had a full history to be up for president. McCain and clinton both have much more extensive profiles than he does, and I mean look at Chicago. From what Ive read every tight vote he might have had to make enemies with he wasnt there to vote on. On one occasion I read about on a tight gun control bill vote he wasnt there because he went on vacation to Hawaii?

I just dont think hes the type who if need be would be a fighter, he just doesnt have the mentality I dont think. But I could be very wrong?

Heres on of the arcticles I read about that issue:

I still want to know every detail of every change he plans before he even gets thought of by me for a vote.

Obama's Church doesn't claim anything for being African-American. It says it's committed to Africa and their African heritage not only of African-Americans but also African ethnicities elsewhere in the world (other than Africa).

Religion and politics should never be mixed...

What it really means is there must be a standard of professionalism where the decisions made will be based on the interests of the country and not simply to uphold the CINC's personal beliefs.
Everyone says it's religion but it applies to MANY other things as well.

However OTG is quite correct, if you look at his policies they are identical to Bush. [

Hi MM - that strikes me as your wanting the argument both ways.

What matters to me is what he plans to do AS POTUS!!!

Yeah - but Obama just ain't saying, is he?

It makes sense to me. You can't say that you like an unpopular administration, or you will never get elected.

Personally I think this is McCain's best attribute.
I am not advocating a continuation of the current policies but you can't just abandon them either my opinion is that you would be far better off with a moderate than doing anything radical at this stage.

You may have a point here.
Same general strategy but a smarter person behind it.

Bugger it! I agree.
