Do you think Obama's main advantage is that he appears less corrupt?

Question

That's why I like him personally; I think the main issue in Washington is corruption, and while McCain is ostensibly against lobbies, I think Obama has an air of incorruptibility about him.

Answer 1

i think that probably has a lot to do with it. obama refused lobby financial support for his campaign while mccain has one of the largest numbers of lobbyists working on his campaign out of any presidential campaign...

Answer 2

You could be right !

Answer 3

Let me check with Tony Rezko and get back to you on this.

Answer 4

Obama is the greatest and smarter than any white president EVER!

Obama will give us hope and change!!!

Go OBAMA!!!!!!

Answer 5

No, it's that a lot of people are tired of republicants

Answer 6

You must have never heard of Anthony Rezko. Obama is a Chicago politician. You should not mention chicago politician and corruption in the same sentence. Wait his buddy Emil Jones will be speaking. You know the guy that called the Hillary supporter an "uncle Tom". That is also the same guy that made the statement  that "he was going to make himself a US Senator, and his name is going to be Barack Obama."

Answer 7

I think your white guilt is showing. He is as corrupt as any politician. Shelby Steele wrote an article on "White guilt" you should google it.

Answer 8

I don't see anything corrupthim. You can't see something unless you have it within you though. If your belief is that people are all corupt corruptt doesn't how many years they have worked hard & lived a life of integrity you will find something corupt about them. So to answer you question I have to say NO, he doesn't appear any way. He appears to each of us according to our perception. We get in life what we are. We have been stupid & igrnornat & arrogant & addicted (debt) & whatever we see in Bush, for 8 years. Some think he is great so if you can run up huge debt & live in denial then you will see him as great. If war is something you feel good about you will love the feeling of drama that war brings. They are just us, we are the projector, they are the movie of our mind....I am ready for a great life. Prosperity, goodness for all.

Answer 9

Probably. People are looking for change and something new. He gives the appearance of that. He speaks well, says things I like to hear but then I remember Bill Clinton was like that too when he ran. Old cliche,

he can talk the talk but can he walk the walk.  

Answer 10

Give me a break. Anyone with ties to the Chicago political machine is corrupt..Have you also forgot about his dealings with Tony Rezko and Obamas ties to various extremists?

He is as crooked as they come..

Answer 11

Its Republicans who are looting tax payers money.

Answer 12

I am going to make this so simple it will blow your mind and your political theory right out of the water. All politicians have their hand in  sombody's  pocket...Where do you think they get their contributions for their campaigns from? If I were Obama, I'd have enough sense to see that the Reverend Wright thing hurt my campaign and distance myself from him REALLY fast.

Here is another shocker for you as well...It doesn't matter what party a politician is in either...Why? I'll do the math for you:

     HONEST + POLICITIAN = OXYMORON

There is no such thing as a 100% honest politician...That breed died with Truman...

Answer 13

Read "The Case Against Barack Obama" by David Freddoso and see the real man behind the facade.

Answer 14

The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an

eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no

experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy

works, no understanding of how the world works, no b@!!$, nothing but

abstract empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.

            

            He has no real identity. He is half-white, which

he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is

disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and

middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people

in Kenya . Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo

grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.

            

            What he isn't, not a genetic drop of, is

'African-American,' the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to

America chained in slave ships. He hasn't a single ancestor who was a

slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was

the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British

ended it.  

Answer 15

Well, with 142 days in Congress he'd have to work awfully fast to be as corrupt as the rest of them so he just decided run for President instead. Given a few more year in D.C. and he'd be as bad as the rest of them.
