I want to see the Patriot Act ripped to shreds. I don't know if Obama is going to do that. But tax-wise, I'm on board. Regulation-wise, I'm on board. If a Democrat president could balance our government into a surplus (keep in mind Reagan's deficits), then I have full confidence Obama could do the same.

that was probably obama just being a politician. trying to court the more conservative independents. I guess his view was that liberal independents aren't voting for mccain so he really can't lose them.

it's a shame though that a former conlaw professor could support such a law.

What is up with your av?

prostitute from Russia. That is not important though.

Having grown up shooting, I'm not thrilled at the prospect of Brady Bill type legislation. Additionally, I realize that we live a world where the US military has so much power that it would be near impossible to revolt, but that doesn't mean our founders didn't put the 2nd Amendment in for it to become antiquated. Additionally, if you want to talk about slippery slopes...start wiping out/sections of the Bill of Rights (you guys who don't like Guantanamo should appreciate this point).

I also don't like that he'll continue faith-based initiatives, especially since half of the people that will benefit think he's a Muslim. The Religion/Politics connection should be removed.

To be honest, there are quite a few issues that I have with some policies that are necessary for the short term, but not even close to ideal. Hopefully they don't stay permanent (like government ownership in banks, etc). I draw the line at a mortgage buyout/housing price fixing that's being proposed by McCain and I hope Obama finds a better way of dealing with that disaster.

I don't know if it would be fair to call me an "Obama supporter", although I certainly support him considering the alternative.

My concerns regarding Obama include:

• his "faith"
  
• his health care plan; it wouldn't be justified under normal circumstances, and is less so given the current state of the federal budget
  
• his public education proposals, which seem to merely throw money at the problem rather than including the type of deep, systemic reform needed to achieve real progress.
  
• his plans for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which are a waste of resources better spent on R&D or mitigation efforts (although he is generally otherwise good in that regard.)
  
• his middle class tax cuts, which are 100% pandering
  
• windfall profits taxes
  
• his support of expanding "hate crimes" statutes
  
• his impracticable proposals for "reforming" defense contracts
  
• needlessly belligerent foreign policy positions with respect to pakistan and russia
  
• his silent assent to the congressional black caucus' attacks on native american tribal sovereignty
  

yeah I hope he is just faking being religious. to believe in magical all knowing identities as a grown man is not good
