What do you dislike about Obama?

Question

Real reasons

What he has done, personality, policy ...

Answer 1

His narcissistic arrogance, assuming that the population is utterly stupid that they don't find out that he is a charlatan.

Answer 2

Nothing.

Answer 3

everything - socialist/racist/elitist/liar/no experience/Michelle

Answer 4

He says he will fix every problem and lower taxes at the same time. Look at his speech at the convention, he said he is going to have, healthcare for all, bring our troops home while finding Osama, fixing social security, stopping genocide, ending poverty, get new energy, protect the enviroment etc.  

There is just way too much. If he tries all this, he will fail at it all and leave the country in massive debt. My problem with him is that he just says he will do this stuff, but has no real plans for a lot of it.

I also don't think he is really going to lower taxes. He will try to get it through Congress but not very hard, then Congress will raise taxes. How else can we pay for all this BS?

Answer 5

His socialist agenda is what I dislike.

Answer 6

He is unqualified...untested...inexperienced.

Answer 7

Modern day Pinocchio.

Answer 8

Flip flopper on most of his issues.

Arrogant

No foreign policy experience

Experience

Lack of a record to back up his plans

I simply don't trust someone who says they are above lobbyists and special interests (I don't see how you can get this far in an election without their help).

Answer 9

I don't think there's enough room here for an entire list of what I dislike about the man.

I think I'd start with his name.  We are at war with the Muslim's and his name sure sounds Muslim to me.  Remember, in WWII, we placed all of the Japanese Americans in detention camps and now we're thinking seriously about electing a Muslim sounding name to the office of President.  Kind of scares me.

Sure, they say he's not Muslim.  But what happens if after the election he decides to start attending a mosque for his religious services.  Isn't it too late then.

His lack of inexperience also kind of scares me.  I mean we're dealing with a first term Senator here who has no real experience in world affairs.  

I guess time will tell and show us just how stupid most American's can be.

Answer 10

Reason:  He hasn't done anything at all, except spend only 140 days of being a senator, the rest of the time he has been out campaining.  Feel sorry for the folks of Illinois.

Answer 11

The fact that when he ran for office for the US Senate he ran on veterans issues because Illinois was at the bottom of Veterans disability compensation. Since being elected, he has been on his self promoting book tour, and then started his bid for President. He has more time on the campaign trail than time doing the job he was elected to do. Guess where Illinois veterans still are?

Answer 12

I am concerned about his 20 year attendance at Rev. Wright's church, his wife's views of America, and the fact both his father and stepfather were not natural born American citizens.

Obama is clearly very brilliant and a charismatic performer, those are good qualities if they are combined with a virtuous character.

I like his pick of Joe Biden as running mate.

It would be incorrect, IMHO, to say that I dislike him, I just have concerns.

(I also have concerns about McCain, especially with the beauty queen running mate.  Again, there's nothing wrong with being supremely physically attractive, it's just that she really has no experience in foreign policy.)

Answer 13

he is rude and wants to keep the people over in iraq and afghanistan there my cousin is one of those peoplein afghani.

Answer 14

WOW this could take a while.

Racist, terrorist ties, muslim background, marxist, socialist, lobbyist, for partial birth abortions, g*y marriage, 20 year mentor ship at his racist church, NO experience, NO military experience, Anti American, liar, untrustworthy, etc.

Answer 15

the rights answer is that he is black, it makes me sick >How many people say it not  because  im prejudice and then they give another reason

Answer 16

If obama is elected he will be assasinated. No doubt about it. But mcain had his birthday two days ago. He's 72. But Ronald Reagan was 71 when he was brought into office.

Answer 17

Hold on,let me get my scroll...

Answer 18

the taxes he will slap in all of our faces.

Answer 19

Seems like a nice enough guy, but his ideas have been tried before and failed.

He also thinks that we have a "good war" and a "bad war".   How about "no war"?  Health care without a mandate?  You cannot find one person that understands this that say this can work.  He had a good keynote speech in 2004, and the democrats latched on to him to show that they were socially liberal.  It certainly wasn't because of his accomplishments.  He chose a VP that is the exact opposite of his entire campaign platform.  I guess that's enough for now.

Answer 20

That he's racist and hates America.

He has shady friends (like Ayers, Wright who both HATE America and Rezko is a felon and Obama gave millions tax dollars to that guy because he wanted a less expensive house)

He has done nothing.

policy: he's a communist/socialist

Answer 21

He won't make a stand. He wants to give free healthcare and a whole bunch of programs but won't say where he's getting the money to do it. Just be upfront and tell us you're taking it from the taxpayers.  

Answer 22

he hasn't done ANYTHING.....thats part of the problem.....

and i also don't like the church he has chosen to go to for 20 years, and soem of the things he has written in his book, and said on his campaign, and...

ya know what...pretty much everything

Answer 23

democrat
