As an American citizen, Obama scares me a little. He really does not seem to understand capitalism, the US Constitution, economics/how wealth is created ( I won't even start on defense/foreign policy) or even the actual role of the President in the US Govt. As far as healing the liberal/conservative divide in this country........I don't want that because liberal policy (IMHO) has done one hell of allot of damage to our country.

The really scary part about this guy is it seems like people for lack of a better word "swoon" at this guys feet. Women faint at his rallies, even my lesiban, vegen, animal rights activist cousion acts like he is the man of her dreams. Few of his supporters get past the retrhoic about "hope". I suppose he is the new "Messiah" of the left who can do no wrong for the time being. Though at some point they will be tremoundously disappointed. I suspect he is more the 21st Century version of Jimmy Carter than JFK. While I'm not a fan of Sen McCain I hope he can torpedo the Obama campaign.
