This question is for all the Pro Obama fans. Is there anything that Obama could do in the last two weeks to change your views about his character and policies? Ultimately cause you to not vote for him?

Obama could grow horns and I would still vote for him
and said : As an Independent, I originally was leaning toward McCain. But, after watching him and Palin simply attack over and over again, Barack and Biden, and never have any meaningful discussions about the problems we facing here and abroad, I'll be voting for Barack. I keep checking the "Fact Check" web site and although both the Barack and McCain campaigns have lost of "Misleading" entries, McCain has a considerable number of "Untrue" entries and Barack has only one entry as "Untrue". That tell s me a lot.

Barack Obama
and said : Of course Barack offers the best. After watching his news cast this morning on foreign affairs, he's got my vote. He knows every country, every player, and every group. He understands their views and their motives. When McCain is in the Middle East he's constantly confused and can't tell one player from another without the aid of Liberman.

Yes they ar lookin good to me now!
and said : I have always been in favor of Nuclear power. It's clean, dependable, cost efficient, and very green friendly. The US lags behind the rest of the world because we have vast amounts of cheap fuels like oil and coal. Soon we will look like China. Unfortunately the producers of energy often forget that there is a whole cycle to follow. Such as mining coal removes large amounts from the earth leaving large barren open pit in the ground. After the coal is removed the cycle needs to be completed and the mine area restored to mother nature is good shape. Likewise with Nuclear power. Uranium is mined from millions of tons of earth, concentrated, powers our plants, then it need to be returned to millions of tons of earth and restored to Mother Nature.

Si
and said : My children are already multilingual and it is a great asset. They have more qualifications in business and in their personal lives. They consistently beat out the interview competition. They have also added ASL as one of their languages. If you want to live and work in your own back yard, don't bother. If you want to live and work all around the world, you better have four or five languages to choose from. Spanish, Madrin, English, Italian or German, and ASL would be perfect.

No, Hillary just wants to help Obama to win the presidency.
and said : Hillary is a very mighty person and will be writing her own place in the history books. She doesn't need Barack's help nor the help of Playboy Bill. I don't expect that she will want to delay her trip into the history books by being VP for four years. She has mightier projects to get to work on. Especially now that she sees what poor advice she get from Bill. Her legacy will far exceed that of Bill.

billeib answered
Undecided
and said : Your article is flawed. Here are the requirements for President of the USA. What is all the requirement for a president? In: Jobs and Education Article Two of the Constitution sets the principal qualifications to be eligible for election as President. A Presidential candidate must: * be a natural-born citizen of the United States; * be at least thirty-five years old; * have been resident in the United States for at least fourteen years. Additionally, the Constitution disqualifies some people from the Presidency. Under Article One of the United States Constitution, the Senate has the option, upon conviction, of disqualifying impeached individuals from holding other federal offices, including the Presidency.[4] Under the Twenty-Second Amendment, no one can be elected President more than twice. The Twenty-Second Amendment also specifies that anyone who serves more than two years as President or Acting President, of a term for which someone else was elected President, can only be elected President once. Under the Twelfth Amendment a person who is no longer eligible to be President may not be Vice President either.

Barack Obama
and said : Here is why. These are policies and not vicious rumors. I was hoping for Hillay but as both Hillary and Barack pointed out, their policies and visions are very similar. Do yourself a favor and open the referenced links below. These are not edited video or propaganda links. They’re government sites and reputable news sites. Obama has so many qualifications that America has been longing to see in its leaders. He is very intelligent and hardworking. He has wisdom and integrity. These things alone would set him apart from the crowd. He is absolutely determined to work with the American people to undo the harm that has been inflicted on our nation in the last 7 years. His platform is extensive, but he is more than aware of the difficulties we will encounter moving forward on many of the issues. He knows he will need to work with all kinds of people and keep the American public engaged in the process if we are to succeed. For me personally, the 10 years he taught constitutional law are very significant, because we have lost so much under Bush. His great academic success indicates his fine intellect. While his work choices reveal a real commitment to social justice. Obama has 10 years in elected office, (3 years in the U.S. Senate and 7 years in the Illinois Senate). He taught constitutional law for 10 years. He graduated Harvard Law School magna cum laude. He was president of the Harvard Law Review. This is significant in demonstrating his ability to debate and lead. He worked as a community organizer and as lawyer representing "community organizers, discrimination claims, and voting rights cases". you can read more on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... http://www.barackobama.com/is...

and said : Absolutely Not. It was found by a wide cross section of immigrants, Similar to todays influx. Most of the Pilgrims were escaping political and religious persecution and were seeking a land that was religiously diverse and tolerant. They insured that when the country was establish that there would be religious freedom to practice your religion freely. Many of the founding fathers were certainly Protestant Christian, Quaker, Catholic Christian, Lutheran, Episcopalian, Unitarian, etc. Unfortunately, everyone who believes in a religion, thinks that theirs is the only perfect religion. No, the USA was never founded as a Christian county but a country of religious tolerance.

In either case they are McCain supporters.
