i like that he voted against the war. other than that, i really don't know much about him. i'd not even heard of him before the dem's last convention. and after that i didn't hear anything about him untill he started running.<br><br>
i also like that he is a great speaker. even better than clinton or regan.

Dude! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>
I take that back. He's from Illinois. That is pretty cool.

 

[OldBaldHippie]

he's calm and composed...necessary traits for diplomacy....

 

[Maples]

ditto

 

[RandMart]

This is absolutely screaming for "What do you like about Omaha?" parody thread.<br><br>
But <b><i>I</i></b> won't do it.

 

[bensmom243]

I don't dislike him, I just don't want him to be the next president.

 

[Tim]

I like Madonna better but Obama seems alright.

 

[Chris the Wheeler]

Nothing except that he's making Mrs Bill Clinton look like the shrill witch that she is.

 

[RandMart]

It doesn't matter what <i><b>we</b> want</i>, it's what we <i>get.</i>

 

[cidersock]

what's not to like?

 

[RunsTheBitterroot]

I just can't think of anything at all. He's a punk.<br><br><br>

I'm still holding out hope for Hilary....but if she doesn't get the nomination I know that I WON"T VOTE REPUBLICAN.....<br>
Winejunky the ever optimistic independent thinker who can't believe our deficit

 

[gumbee]

I like their beef... oh wait, Obama (not Omaha)<br><br>
mmmm, nothing

 

[clb]

He's a gifted orator; I could listen to him for hours. If he were a preacher I might even join his church.<br><br>
Politically I just don't know him at all. But personally there's nothing to dislike.

 

[merigayle]

There are many reasons to like him. I think he is charismatic and well rounded. I agree with a lot of his <a href="http://www.barackobama.com/issues/" target="_blank">issues</a>. I think having a non-white man as president could be extremely beneficial for foreign relations. I am looking forward to the PA primary, this is the first time in all my voting years i am registered Democrat!

 

[QuixoticNotions]

I like the against the war.<br><br>
There are a lot of issues I disagree with him on.<br><br>
But I think he's a gifted orator and believe he has handled every aspect of this election with more class and grace than any other candidate (especially on specific other candidate who is just embarrassing me with certain behaviors) Personally, I find him irreproachable.<br><br>
I really hope that he is our next president, despite what I disagree with him on. Sometimes you have to set aside differences for what you believe will be the best thing for your country at this juncture; and I think he's it.

 

[RichMac]

Great speaker, and it's not Hillary

 

[fatmantrying]

I like his message a lot, but being self employed for the last 30 years I'm not a fan of most of his Tax positions.<br><br>
The small business man is/has been getting killed and I'm not convinced that he understands how much double taxation can play a part in that.<br><br>
Still, I know none of the other candidates will deal directly with issues I hold dear, so Obama could get my vote.
