what makes you think obama will shift resources away from anything? perhaps away from Iraq, but then straight into Afghanistan.
also, have you taken a close look at government programs meant to serve citizens? social security? welfare? can we honestly say that those are good programs which are working the way we intended, and not just a farce of what they're meant to be and, for the most part, a waste of money? given that, what makes you think that future government social programs would be any more successful?
i don't really support any candidate. but to me it looks like Obama is willing to kiss whoever's ass he needs to to get elected. want the religious vote? ok, don't support gay marriage, expand government funding of religious charities. want the vote of the oldies? ok, exempt oldies making under $50,000 a year from paying taxes. want the support of big oil? ok, allow drilling offshore.
i know the real issue boils down to a "lesser of the two evils" statement, but these are just my thoughts on Obama, judged only against himself.
not a mccain supporter. questioning your premises
