Policies? I think he'll figure those out as he goes along. Let's elect a "trial and error" president people.
Ok...true..he has some positions just like all candidates do. But it is not very obvious what they are as he is relying on buzz words in his campaign versus facts, plans and direction.

Obama has no policies therefore I have no favorite.---- Obama is an empty smile with no substance.

None and his fiscal Policy (contrary to the above poster is insane)
+Voted NO on paying down federal debt
+Voted NO on $40B in reduced federal overall spending.
He wants to spend,spend,spend

I can't really say that I agree with him much, but I understand that he wants to crack down on "mortgage fraud". Depending on his specific proposal, I could get behind that.
(I tried checking out his campaign website... I saw how to sign up for campaign emails, and I saw how to make a donation... didn't see anything offhand regarding policy stances)

His fiscal beliefs.
"The cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the federal budget. This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and states of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on ... If Washington were serious about honest tax relief in this country, we'd see an effort to reduce our national debt by returning to responsible fiscal policies." - Barack Obama, Speech in the U.S. Senate, March 13, 2006
Also Homeland Security
"Five years after 9/11, our country is still unprepared for a terrorist attack. From improving security for our transit systems and chemical plants, to increasing cargo screening in our airports and seaports, the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission have been underfunded and ignored. The 9/11 Commission gave the government five F's and 12 D's on the implementation of its recommendations. Senator Obama is a member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and has supported efforts to base homeland security spending on risk rather than pork-barrel politics. He has also introduced legislation to strengthen chemical plant and drinking water security and to enhance disaster preparedness."(1.)
EDIT:
Posted below:
+Voted NO on paying down federal debt ...
"Here are programs affected: Border Patrol, Coast Guard search and rescue, high-intensity drug trafficking areas, LIHEAP, rural education, child abuse prevention, and treatment. If there is a problem in those programs, they ought to be fixed. We ought not to be cutting Border Patrol, Coast Guard search and rescue, high-intensity drug trafficking areas, LIHEAP, rural education, and the rest. I urge a "no" vote."
+Voted NO on $40B in reduced federal overall spending.:
'Vote to pass a bill that reduces federal spending by $40 billion over five years by decreasing the amount of funds spent on Medicaid, Medicare, agriculture, employee pensions, conservation, and student loans. The bill also provides a down-payment toward hurricane recovery and reconstruction costs."
