What finally got me was Obamas voting record on veterans issues. He came thru considerably more times than MCcain, which surprised me.
Honestly as you can probably tell from my posts that I was barely a Republican if ever at all. I subscribed to the Bush philosophy on where to take the country, as given in his speeches, and history as governor. Bush vs. Gore was the first time I was motivated to register to vote and voted for Bush.
Ayers, Wright, Rezko and many others, as well as his work with ACORN are a valid reason to question Obama what his intentions truly are. Don't think so? What would think of McCain if he Pal'd around with David Duke and attended KKK meetings for 20 years?
With out going into boring details, I feel that Bush didn't hold up to his end of the deal. I see a striking similarity between Bush and Mccain. Similarities in speeches, promises, philosophy, voting record and staff which makes me believe that history will repeat itself and the candidate won't hold true.
It's time to give the Democrats a chance to fall short of their promises.

The President doesn't make the laws, pass bills, include earmarks or raise/lower taxes....Your Congress and Senate do. Obamas promises of HOPE and CHANGE are pipe dreams, nothing he talks about will happen without the approval of our Lawmakers making it happen.
And the fact is that for the past 2 years the Democrats have had the majority and have had the oppourtunity to make changes and they haven't done squat.
