    Top 3 Reasons to vote for Obama:

    1. He has a forward-looking vision.

    2. He has genuine leadership skills.

    3. He has good ideas that are new.

    The best reason i can think of on why not to vote for him is if one feels that politics as usual (meaning, no major disruptions to the system) is the best course to take in this turbulent time. There's a strong argument for not trying anything new when things are going so wrong in so many ways. However, I don't subscribe to that and I know from personal experience that not changing and mixing it up is never a solution.

    1. Agree w/ his views on education, health care and Iraq War and what needs to be done to uplift poor communities.

    2. He is not hateful and Deceitful like most politicians, Not brain-washed by Washington

    3. He seems to genuinely care about all people and connects w/people of all races.

    One reason I would not vote for him:

    If he picks Hillary as his VP or he looses focus on what brought him to the position he is in now.

    1) He's not McCain

    2) He's very smart

    3) He's cool

    One reason why I wouldn't vote for him: His record and plans don't keep up with his rhetoric. He's not fundamental change

    There is no reason on earth that could compel me to vote for Obama.

    I will not vote for him because, in his own statements, he has forwarded Socialist ideas, plans, and suggestions and touted them as his own beliefs. We are not a Socialist nation, and we should never elect someone so blatantly Socialist to our presidency.
