		<description>Tristan, I'm in 100% agreement that's he's a wonderful, charismatic, inspiring guy. I just can't figure out what his position on anything is. 

In his short time as IL Senator, he hasn't voted on many things. If I voted for him, I wouldn't know who the hell I was voting for, other than a really incredible demagogue. 

There's more to a President than charisma--he's literally the CEO of this country, and as customers, we need to know exactly what he'd do as President, and where he's going to lead us. Simply offering "change" for change sake shouldn't be enough for us. 

On the flip side, who are the alternatives? Scary. Haha. The only concrete position I've read from Obama is his space program initiative, and it's a throwback to floating around in space waving flags. What about foreign trade? Tariffs and subsidies? Welfare? Medicare? Social Security? What's his position on the Federal Reserve? Capital gains? Federal vs. State government? etc. etc. 

I like Obama the most out of any candidate, but at this point, I'm having serious doubts about a phantom candidate.</description>

		<description>I love Barack. He's the prime candidate, in my eyes, for the next presidency and I hope with all of my might that America has a shred of sense and votes him into office.

Here's to hoping for a good thing to actually happen to our country.</description>

		<description>you forgot to mention the part about him ripping off his suit and declaring himself the hulk and a top-member of the illuminati. i've also heard that he is actually white and only wearing blackface. how dare he don the face of minstrelsy without actually singing! when will he belt the notes? all i want in a president is someone who can rock the boat of american idol. if simon cowell can vote for him, so can i.</description>
