Good Arguments Against Obama?

Question

I am an Obama fan, but I'm in debate. And I need some arguments against Obama so I can defend them. So republicans help me out please?

Answer 1

Here's one you don't hear very often. He is a complete unknown.

He has really no close friends or associates. No one from his past has every taken the stage and said "I have known Obama for years, I worked with Obama and he's a good solid guy"

He has drifted through life building his image and resume without making any devoted friends from his past.

No one excepting Michelle really has any idea who the mystery man really is!

Answer 2

He will fix our economy. End.

Answer 3

The problem is, we do not like big government and you do. We believe the government is inherently inefficient. Bush has increased government by quite a bit, see how much you guys like him? Our ideas contrast with yours.. so what you say is a good idea, we say is a bad one. But I'll give it a try.

1. Obama says he is going to tax the companies that send jobs over seas.

My questions would be; how does that solve the problem? Whats stopping them from sending even more jobs over seas to offset higher taxes? Whats stopping them from setting up shell companies of itself to "purchase materials" and then right it all off (a lot of people do this btw)? Whats stopping them from just moving there entire business to China thus approving there economy while charging the U.S. more money for the same product?

2. Obama says he is going to tax the wealthy.

I would say whoopity freaking dooo. The government is collecting these rich folks money, not you. They lose more money just collecting the money then what they make. Plus there are no where near enough rich folks to offset the poor folks. This means middle class taxes will go up.. just watch.

3. Obama says he is going to end our dependency on foreign oil.

GREAT!! No he won't. I am finishing up a degree in physics, I have built solar cars, and I can tell you now that the science is decades off from making practical use of solar panels. Wind is a joke. Nuclear is by far the best option and most of his base won't support it. In addition, it takes at least a decade to build a nuclear power plant which is well outside him serving both terms. So how is he going to defy the laws of thermodynamics and give us "renewable" energy?

4. Obama says he is going to tax the oil companies.

Great, how is he going to stop them from charging more to offset the taxes? They have us by the balls right now.

5. He wants to stop "global warming".

This argument I don't have the time or willingness to go through with you due mostly to the fact you have probably already ignored me. However, you can not model complex chaotic systems mathematically and claim 100 percent certainty. In short, corelation does not prove causation.  Garth Patrdige climate scientist wrote:

"It needs to be understood that any reasonable simulation even of present climate requires computer models to be tuned. They contain parameters (that is, pieces of input information) whose numerical values are selected primarily to give the right answer about today's climate rather than because of some actual measurement. This was particularly so in the mid-eighties. The problem with tuning is that it makes any prediction of conditions different from those of the present far less believable. Even today the disease of "tuneable parameters" is still rampant in climate models, although fairly well hidden and not much spoken of in polite society. The scientifically-inclined reader might try sometime asking a climate researcher just how many such parameters there are in his or her latest model. The reader will find there are apparently lots of reasons why such a question is ridiculous, or if not ridiculous then irrelevant, and if not irrelevant then unimportant. Certainly the enquirer will come away having been made to feel foolish."

6. Obama wants universal government controlled health care.

I don't want the same people who brought me medicaid and social security (Both huge failures) in charge of my health care. I was in the Navy, I have been to government hospitals, and trust me you do not wanna go there.

7. Obama is pro affirmitive action.

I'm sorry, but I grew up in a poor white family. I busted my rear to go to school and pay my bills myself. I have zero respect for someone who wants free handouts because of the color of his skin. That.. is racism by definition.

I could go on for pages. The issue is, you probably like all that stuff. So it doesn't look like an argument to you. I'm just a mean white kid who must have had everything going for him thats never been to Iraq and judges people by there actions and not by there skin color. FOR SHAME.

Answer 4

Good luck on your debate, Special K.

1.  Obama is the most liberal senator in Congress with the knock being that he's not very open-minded.  

2.  In the Illinois Senate he voted "Present" instead of "Yes" or "No" on most legislation so he would not have to answer for his vote later, thus making him a man without character, or a backbone.

3.  His ideas are socialist.  America is a capitalistic nation with a "free market" economy, and his views run counter to that.  

4.  He is full of rhetoric meaning he gives a lot of speeches telling people what they want to hear, but it's just words, and he rarely can explain how he intends to fulfill the lofty promises he presents.

5.  Touching on the socialism issue, he demonizes those with wealth, yet he is a millionaire several times over.  

6.  He has no experience.  He has spent his political career campaigning for a job, then once he gets that, campaigning for yet another higher position w/o ever doing anything for the job that he was elected for.  To that, he decided less than half a year into his U.S. Senator career that he wanted to be president, and just decided to run leaving little legislative decisions to define the man's political vision meaning he's considered an "empty suit."  

7.  You might not wanna touch on this, but he is considered to be a racist b/c he sat in a church that preached hate towards people of the white race for 20 years, but that's your call.

There's plenty more ammunition against BO, so just ask for it if you want it.      

Answer 5

he has less legislative experience then sarah....he did nothing for chicago...hes only been a senator for 2 years....he still has never specified on his plan for all his magical plans....his speech at the convention was just insults at mccain, and talk about his perfect United States with no plan on how he would do it...he was part of one of the biggest racists mega churches in the United States, he believes in wasting american life and money in order to bring democracy to georgia(we are not the world police), he seems to care more about the middle east then Americans(thats why the jewish dont like him), etc...etc...oh yeah hes an elitists who claims hes had a typical american life....he said that "mccain would follow Bin laden to the gates of h**l, but he wont even follow him to the cave he lives"...well Obama I dont see you following him to the cave either..hahahaha
