Why would people vote for Obama?

Question

Obama has a sort of a socialistic view of things, and his idea of "spreading wealth" sounds good, but in the end it will hurt the USA's economy. WHY DOESN'T ANYBODY REALIZE THIS!?

Answer 1

It is too late - they all drank the Kool-aid and we are doomed

Answer 2

And the US economy is booming right now? Maybe you should explain just HOW it will hurt the economy. Or do you just take a sound bite from some conservative and regurgitate it? Explain in detail how you realize a "socialistic" approach will damage the economy instead of making a broad, vague comment.

Answer 3

ahah. I watched this thing on youtube. People in Harlem was asked if they liked McCain polices but told the people that they were all obamas. Like they said they all agreed with Obama to leave the troops a bit longer, and they all loved how he was against abortion. Then after they said all that, the interviews told them what they did, and the people just shrugged their shoulders.... They had no idea who they were voting for. They just wanted to see history made and bring in the first black president. personally, I think he is too inexperienced for us, and he just sounds horrible, he wont even solute to our flag! Why would people see any good in a person like that for president?

Answer 4

Because America is full of false intellects who think they know what they are talking about. People have socialism mixed with a command economy, and the only difference is that a command economy is NOT loosely held. They are both part of Communism, though.

Answer 5

Why would people vote for Mccain? look what Bush did to this country now imagine what 4 more years of this would look like. Its disgusting that's is why I voted early for Obama he his calm in chaos , cool when the situation is heated and collective when everyone else is panicking. He is the right person who will lead this country into our future. I don't care about his speaking skills his character is what strikes a cord with me.

Answer 6

Well, I personally voted for Barack Obama because he seems to feel the same as I do on most issues. For example, I do not support the war in Iraq. I have nothing against John McCain, but Obama promises to get our troops home much sooner. Also, Obama is investing more in alternative fuel, and I think we all know that we cannot depend on oil forever as it is a non-renewable resource. There are other reasons, as there are things that I do not agree with him on (Affirmative Action), but they are less relevant in todays society. And also it's possible that they cannot stand Sarah Palin? I know I can't! ;)



I realize it, but I don't think that the rich are going to create less jobs because their taxes are higher. I just think they will have to have a few less houses. *cough* McCain *cough*



We are all entitled to our own opinion, let's just see how the majority feels :D

Answer 7

You should just get over it, Obama is going to win this election. There is nothing you can say or do to prevent that. We came out to vote for Obama, because we want change. We don't need another 4 years of the last 8.



WHY DON'T YOU AND OTHERS LIKE YOU REALIZE THAT.

Answer 8

The question is, why wouldn't people vote for Obama? His plans and ideas are better than McCain's. Most people voting for Obama are doing so because they're educated and informed voters making the best choice of the main two candidates.

Answer 9

They think he will make everyone equal with his redistribution policy. What they don't see is that he will make everyone equally miserable. Ultimately that's what socialist and communist ideals have been creating around the world.

Answer 10

I saw more black people at my polling place than I had ever seen at that place before. I have voted in every election and I was absolutely floored. I'm black by the way. So I have been very observant of that in the past.

Answer 11

He has Charisma.



They forget Adolf Hitler had Charisma and accordingly the evils that were perpetuated by that scum-ball.

Answer 12

Desperation.

Answer 13

ummm people dont vote for Obama cuz he's black, they vote because he is going to save this economy(hopefully) and be a good president. It doesn't matter if he is white, black, chinese, mexican, alien, I want a good strong president.

Answer 14

I've asked myself this for the longest time. Other than their mantra of blind "change", I have no idea how an informed person who is paying attention could possible vote for this man in good conscious.

Answer 15

Honestly if you knew ANYTHING about our economy right now we already have socialistic economy

unless your the person thats thinks socialism is one step away from communism?

which is retarded within itself

Answer 16

He wants change: change in economy, help with American middle class families, education (VERY important), the environment, etc. His views on things make sense and promise hope for America to be the country that it's supposed to be.

Answer 17

Obama will win and it will benefit this country. Why would you vote for McCain? Do you realize that Bush has damaged this country and you want another Republican to finish the dirty job?

Answer 18

HA you are just bitter





OBAMA AND BIDEN 08



i can't explain the euphoria of living in Blue state

Go Maryland :D

Answer 20

Because, lyk, zomg, he's a black, nd they're ttly not racist, so their gunna vote for a black guy instead of a white guy!11!!1!



-headdesk-



I wish more people voted for politicians based on, you know, POLITICS. But, hey, that's America for you. Appearances come first.



@ Rawr! It's a Dinosaur! & ivannataco - No, actually, it's the truth. Everyone I've asked who is voting for Obama cannot name a SINGLE thing he's going to do. They know that he's, a) Democrat and, b) BLACK. That's IT. (Oh, and that's he's going to make "change." Somehow. They couldn't tell me how.)

Answer 21

It's because they don't see the secret behind his words. The second he started flaunting that word "change", people were all over him because they were desperate for change. They just didn't realize it wasn't going to be good change.

Answer 22

ur totally right! they do just like him cause hes black



but!

i dont agree with spreading the wealth ****.

if u cant go get a job ur self then why should i give u the money i worked hard for? go to college and get a job u lazy assholes. and if u cant afford college, work hard and get a scholarship. if u cant get a scholorship, take out a student loan and pay it off whe n u get the job that pays a lot of money from going to college!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 23

Why would people vote for McCain?!

Answer 24

well he's spreading wealth in a smart way by taking money from places where it is just being wasted and helping to better manage our appropriations.



also, if you're a woman it is hard NOT to vote for Obama. What he is doing for our health care and rites is incredible... not one of McCain's top priorities.

Answer 25

Cuz they're idiots and don't even know why they like him.. don't get me started

Answer 26

hes not getting votes because he is black! if anything thats why people are not voting for him. people dont like McCains health care plan, and they hate sara palin.

Answer 27

He's evening out the country, McCain is just going to take all our money and give it to the rich people, then hand that over to the oil company's, continue the raid in Iraq, and die three weeks later from old age.

Answer 28

he may make a lousy President but he's the best that America can produce.

Answer 29

Everyone who thinks people are voting for Obama because he's black are complete idiots.



Wow.

It's their right as Americans do vote for the candidate of their choice. You don't have to like it, but that's how it is.



By the way, the US ecomony is already fucked. You can't blame Obama for that.

Answer 33

People are voting for him becase he HALF black and they are ready for the world to come to an end!!

Answer 35

EXACTLY! IM ON YOUR SIDE 100%



people need to realize this is NOT the man for the US. he will screw us over so bad,

Answer 36

I adore his views on health care and immigration. He is great. Stop listening to the media, if he wasn't African-American, there would be NOTHING against him. He's the best.

Answer 37

THEY JUST VOTE FOR HIM CUZ HES BLACK!!

DUH!!!

THEY SHOULD JUST PAINT THE WHITE HOUSE NOW BLACK

Answer 38

Who said "They just like him 'cause he's black!"?

Because wow. That's just the most racist thing I've ever heard.

Answer 39

SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? WE SHOULD JUST LET THE RICH STAY RICH? ISN'T THAT WHAT GOT US IN THIS MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE?????

Answer 40

His economic policies are better than McCain's and the economy isn't the only issue.

Answer 41

Oh, get over it. The results will come soon despite your protests. I project a win...

Answer 42

Sore loser often?
