Why I’m
Not Voting for Obama (and Why You Shouldn’t Either): A Series
This is the first of a series of posts on Barack Obama and why I believe he does not deserve your vote for president,
Barack Obama: The Hidden Candidate
Barack
Obama has mounted a campaign for president based largely on platitudes and
generalities, but little substance. He should be forced to campaign on a higher
intellectual level than repeating just the “Change” mantra and talking about
how this is “His Time” and that “he is the one we have been waiting for,” but
he has been largely unchallenged. What I find particularly worrisome is that
Obama has a record that provides voters with a window into his true beliefs,
but he has kept important parts of his record hidden, assisted by a cravenly
biased mainstream media. He is rarely pressed to answer tough questions that
would require him to explain policies or past actions.
Through
skillful rhetoric Barack Obama is hiding who is truly is. To make an informed
choice rather than an emotional one, voters need to know what Barack Obama
really believes and how he would likely govern. This series of posts is
designed to explore the facts about what Barack Obama believes, what he would
do as president, and what the consequences would be. I will try to do this in
an honest, unexaggerated way: no hype, just facts and straightforward analysis.
I hope that clarifying Obama’s record will prove useful in accurately
portraying who Barack Obama is, what he believes, what he would likely do as
President, and why the consequences are so potentially damaging for the
country.
