Style over substance? Seriously?
You still don't get why I voted for him, do you. Let me see if I can break it down for you. Yay! Finally sombody willing to give it a shot, even if it is someone who makes baseless personal attacks on unknown politician.
Realistically we only had two options last election, McCain and Obama. With this in mind I had to choose between the status quo and the new guy. Lesser of two evils. I dream of the day we will abandon that notion.
Well I looked them over very closely and it was a hands down defeat for McCain, among various reasons, how can you justify voting in a man who sang "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran"? Do you know the context? And we wanted this guy as president? Plus the fact that he had a proven track record of being a hot head. Proven track record bad, no track record good. Got it. He was at the bottom of his class (like Bush was) so he isn't very intelligent. Bottom of the Naval Academy class. Any idea how many wash out and don't graduate at all? His Daddy got him through school (like Bush) He believed that drilling for more oil was our way out of the energy crisis which is very short sighted. And incomplete. He also supported all other alternative energy sources.
And then we had Obama as the other candidate. He went to Harvard on loans and grants (nobody giving him a free ride) I've been looking for any proof at all of that. Have you found it? Can you cite it, please? I'd be most grateful and worked hard enough and was intelligent enough to graduate at the top of his class. You can't take that away from him. Yes he is intelligent, but intelligence does not equal wisdom. Only experience can give wisdom, and even then it's a longshot bet. With that resume alone he could have worked for any company he wanted. Not because he knows someone or his daddy is important, but because he is the best and brightest. That right there was reason enough for me. He could have STARTED for any company he wanted, no way in hell he could have walked in the door and get the CEO position, which is what you voted him into. A chance to have a president that is actually very intelligent and a hard worker. Now add in the fact that he was a constitutional professor and then a state legislator who had a record of not only reaching across the isle, but working with the other side on a regular basis to get things done. Compared to McCain, who also had a reputation of "reaching across the aisle" albeit only as a lowly US Senator.
And the final reason I voted for him... There was nothing on him. The best the right could come up with was a defuncked association with Bill Ayres and calling him an empty suit or that he gives good speaches. Really? That's it? Again, Proven track record bad, no track record good. Got it.
Absolutely nothing but talking points ... [... blah blah nothing more pertaining to me]
eta: do you support his plans now?
