Barack the perfect candidate

[Paul-F]

Is it just me, or is Obama the perfect candidate?

I can't find anything wrong with him. I'm an atheist, and I still strongly support his positions on religion. I agree with his foreign policy, his idea for social reform, his stance on "the green movement," and even his feelings about 'the religious right.'

The only thing I've seen people bash him on is his "lack of experience", but years in Illinois, books written and 11 years teaching Constitutional law is enough for me, even as Commander in Chief. Call me naive.

Can anyone find anything that makes him look bad? I've been google videoing all day and I can't find anything. He doesn't even seem wish-washy. There's no "arguing with himself" videos like there are with Hillary, et. al.

I suppose if you were super religious or super Republican you might not like him, but damn if I'm not close to agreeing with Obama girl. He seems like a very solid candidate.

Some videos to support my hypothesis:

"His Plans for 2008":

Him on Tyra Show - makes him seem very human and humble

His "Relgious" opinion; skip to 2:05 to get past all the Jesus stuff right to his speech

His Foreign Policy:

"Our military power is just one component of our power… [..] and I will do whatever it takes as Commander in Chief to keep the American people safe. But I know that part of keeping us safe is restoring our respect in our world. And I think those who are advising me agree with that, and part of our agenda that we are putting forward …initiating contacts with Muslim leaders in the world, doubling our efforts in terms of in terms of foreign aid. All those are designed to create long-term security, by creating long-term prosperity around the world.”

For giggles; Obama Girl (not really SFW)

His official policy page (biased, but still good):

He's also one of very few candidates to address net neutrality, but that's not surprising considering he has a million mySpace and Facebook pages and seems generally tech-savvy (another important thing, for me).

I like him but he has weak points ..............not much experience and we've seen just how bad that can be with the fool little georgey.

Also the impression of many white working people that he's had everything handed to him since he's a smart black guy who may not be 100 % American .His wife and preachers ignornat comments helped that along .

Still am for him .

How do you get that I am religious? Statements like this tends to make me think myron is right about you. Condescend all you want. Your insult takes away any consideration for what you have to say on here. Have fun with your play Cambridge.

Between Hillary and Obama, The US will be in better hands with Hillary.

I claim to be an American Citizen. I claim the nobility and the righteousness that comes with that title. I claim the beliefs of the American Citizen. I claim the Constitutional rights of the American Citizen. I claim, first and foremost, the right that every person is entitled to due process of law and equal protection of the laws. I claim, under that Constitutional, to be free from infringement of my right to privacy, my right to be free from illegal search and seizure, to be free from illegal incarceration, to be free from illegal torture, to be free from illegal rendering, to be free from illegal waterboarding, to be free from violations of the Geneva Conventions and, yes, as one American, to be free from the violations of the Rome Accord.

How does our resident Turk stand?
