Why did you vote for Obama or not...?

[Bonny]

We had a special voting machine brought in at the cost of $54,000.00 for blind people to use. No one used it! Talk about tax payers money being wasted?

I had a hard time picking the right person. My state was first to pick Obama. I saw him up close at the Iowa State Fair with body guards close at hand protecting him & tv cameras all over the place when we were eating our dinner at the pork producers tent. I don't know how he & his family could enjoy a meal with all the hype.

I was called a racist & predjudce when I mentioned I was not ready for a black president when I got mixed in with a group of liberals on here on another thread. I felt Obama was playing the race card. I wish him the best as president & hope he can fulfill his promises just as I had hoped my pick McCain/& my dear Sara Palin would of been obligated to do also. I did vote a split ticket though. I am an independent voter & weigh the issues, look at religion & morals & try to be fair even when life isn't.

Because of Obama's voting records in the State and Federal senates and who he has choosen to associate with over the years I couldnt vote for him.

McCain may be socially conservative but he is fiscaly liberal so I couldnt vote for him either.

Both of them were long winded on ideas but very little on how they would implement those ideas.

I was pretty hopefull when Palin joined the Republican ticket but the McCain campaign kept her on the backburner, away from the press and controlled what she would say and that hurt McCain alot.
