For Democrats....I know that Obama is running on the issue of change...?
....but can you give me a honest proposal that he has made that will change things. I need a specifics' not just the party rhetoric. I will not vote for someone who just trashes the other side and doesn't lay out the facts. I am not asking for spin or negatives just the facts on what Obama would like to do. I posed the same question to the Republicans on YA and you can look for yourself at the results and how I voted their answers. I wanted to give both sides the opportunity to layout their reasons for their candidate. This is important to me.

He was against invading Iraq from the start, has astutely championed withdrawing U.S. combat forces during what is likely to be a temporary lull in violence, and was much more measured about the conflict in Georgia, which threatened no vital U.S. strategic interest.
If the U.S. pulls out, we will get a ‘peace dividend’ — a whole lot of money now being spent on the war will be available for other purposes. No doubt lots of people, in both parties, will have ideas for ways of spending it.
“Suppose Obama commits himself not to let the peace dividend be spent on new projects, or at least not all of it. Suppose, for instance, that he promises that at least half of the saving will be used to reduce the budget deficit. That puts him in the position of the fiscally responsible candidate, which should appeal to conservatives as well as libertarians. And it is a pledge that McCain cannot match, since he supports the war and so is not going to have any peace dividend to allocate. …”

"I will not vote for someone who just trashes the other side and doesn't lay out the facts"- Then I guess you won't be voting for McCain then!
One of the major things that Obama will change- health care and lower taxes for the middle class.
McCain- no change. Follow the same destructive path as Bush.

His economic plan = change
His iraq plan = change
Senator Obama has been able to develop innovative approaches to challenge the status quo and get results. Americans are tired of divisive ideological politics, which is why Senator Obama has reached out to Republicans to find areas of common ground. He has tried to break partisan logjams and take on seemingly intractable problems. During his tenure in Washington and in the Illinois State Senate, Barack Obama has accumulated a record of bipartisan success.
Just check out his blueprint for change...
