As an Undecided voter please tell me about Obama's Good Judgment

1. Expect a lot of hate-filled responses to your post.

2. Expect little, if any substance from Obama supporters, other than how they feel 'inspired'. I felt inspired this morning to go squeeze out a couple of turds into my toilet. That doesn't mean I'm voting for the server at Ninfa's for President though.

 

This is true for Hillary and McCain as well. Unfortunately, when you're on the campaign trail for a year, you miss a lot of votes. Hillary's missed about the same number, and McCain has missed substantially more. It sucks, but it's the reality of running as a Senator/Congressman.

I think he has stated multiple times that he'd vote to fund the war on the principle that while you're there, you have to do it right. You can't skimp on that or force an unplanned withdrawal or you create a bigger mess than you already have.

Plenty of things have been posted talking about his good judgment in the campaign, his selection of policy people, etc. But based on your post, it's pretty clear you're not a particularly undecided voter, so it's not really worth bothering. You've pretty clearly already made up your mind.

 

He's a liar if he said that. He wasn't yet in the Senate when the vote was taken in 2002. Perhaps he's talking about a vote in a poll on an internet basketball message board, instead?

Obama is simply unfit to lead. No experience, no solutions, a terrible economic plan, and poor management of foreign relations. Oh, but he does have a deep voice and can tilt his head back when he speaks.

 

lol I'm glad somebody called him out on this

 

Hillary keeps talking about having the experience to take that 3AM phone call in a crisis situation.

Can anyone point to a time when Hillary was put in a crisis situation and how she responded?

 

Hillary says she'll start removing troops in 60 days if elected.

 

Liberals: Answer the man's question. Where is Obama's good judgment? Where is it?

 

If he truly had good judgment would he be running for president?

would any of them?

 

we have a moral obligation to the people of Iraq to stay and finish what we started. to advocate a unilateral pullout is, IMNSHO, morally irresponsible.

 

You should ask this guy:

Seriously, here are his legislative accomplishments (not bad for less than four years in office):

Not a big fan of "A Resolution to Congratulate the Chicago White Sox on Winning the 2005 World Series," but his ability to anticipate problems (ethics reform, avian flu, lead paint) sticks out to me as an example of his good judgment. I think any of the candidates left, save Huckabee and Paul, would do a decent job. I just think Obama would do the best job.

 

No - he said he would do a phased, systematic withdrawal. From one of his foreign policy advisors:

He is willing to make the Iraqi people central to his plan: to think about moving people from mixed neighborhoods to homogenous neighborhoods if that was required; creating a war crimes commission; giving two billion dollars in aid to Iraq's neighbors who are sheltering these refugees.

You can disagree about the specifics - I certainly am not in the "withdraw from Iraq" camp - but he has thought a tad bit more about the details than you seem willing to give credit for.

 

On maintaining a balenced budget

On China and Currency Manipulation/Trade Imbalences

On compensating for reckless Bush Administration spending

On preserving American rural economies

On reducing lead and mercury poisoning

On preserving America's lakes and forests

On Katrina contracts being given to Halliburton

I'd continue, but I'm doubtful any of you guys will actually read this. Let me say though, as a concerned neighbour of your north, that this guy seems to be a lot more solid and full of substance then well...another guy.

"This foreign policy stuff is a little frustrating."—President Bush, as quoted by the New York Daily News, April 23, 2002

 

he supports segregation along ethnic/religious lines in Iraq?
