The funny thing is, the lefties think Obama is completely different. They are the basically the same on foreign policy regarding terrorism, etc. Obama wouldnt have invaded Iraq, but Iran is definatly not off the table from what it sounds like.

He is a bit different, he is closer to communism.
Wealth distribution, socialized health care, bigger government, more taxation on the "rich" and business, windfall profits tax (?) etc....

Like him or not, you have to give Barack Obama credit for waging a smart, focused campaign. Destroying the Clinton machine was a major achievement and so was putting together a successful convention in Denver. Obama is now firmly a part of U.S. history, no matter what happens in the presidential election.
The problem some Americans continue to have with the Senator is that he is long on charisma but short on detail. This frightens some voters. Who the heck is this guy, anyway? So when Obama finally agreed to speak to me this week, specifics were on my mind.
First, the man. The Barack Obama I witnessed is self-confident, determined and driven. He was acutely aware of his surroundings from the moment he entered the room. He looks you in the eye and touches your shoulder. He understands how to connect one-on-one.
As far as philosophy goes, Senator Obama is convinced that the federal government should be in control of income distribution and, to some extent, should regulate the free marketplace. That is a classic liberal position, and Obama promotes it well.
The Senator also believes that poor Americans have a basic right to free health care and monetary supplements from the government with no strings attached. The American substance abuser, for example, would derive the same benefit as a hard working, laid off worker would. Again, classic liberalism. No judgments made regarding entitlements.
So, if Barack Obama does become president, there will definitely be change. His left-wing base will demand it, and he will come through. You can decide if that's change we should believe in, but keep in mind that the unintended consequences of government interference in the marketplace are impossible to predict. Free markets have a way of chafing under government imposition.
On the foreign policy front, Obama has convinced me that he is tough but cautious. He rose up quickly because he vehemently opposed the Iraq war. But now I see a man who understands the victory that has taken place in Iraq. I don't believe he wants to screw that up. I could be wrong.
After going mano-a-mano with Obama on television, I am also persuaded that he is a sincere guy?that he wants the best for all Americans. He's an ideologue, but not a blind one. He understands that his story is incredible, and, I have come to believe, he is grateful to the American system for allowing it happen.
It is true that we don't know whether Senator Obama has the ability to solve complex problems, but you can say that about all presidential contenders.
Like most politicians, Obama has used guile and good luck to accumulate his power. He can be ruthless, kind, unfair, and generous. In short, he's a real person trying to achieve an unreal position?that of the most powerful person in the world.
God help him.

Wealth distribution, socialized health care, bigger government, more taxation on the "rich" and business, windfall profits tax (?) etc....
Wealth distribution
Like money going from the Liberal North and West Coast to the poor Conservative South and Alaska? Tell me, is Arizona a net recepient of Federal largese or a net contributor?
socialized health care
Would you rather pay retail prices for healthcare? You can run your mouth about "socialized" health care but you'll be singing another tune when you have to pay hospital bills that can reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars for you or your family on problems you may not have had any control over.
bigger government
This one is so asinine it isn't even worth discussing. But unless you can give me one, just one example, of an Administration reducing government, I'll concede the point.
more taxation on the "rich" and business
Another asinine assertion. We know the poor can't afford more taxes, so I'm guessing you rather put it on the middle class to pay for your bigger government and wars?
windfall profits tax (?) etc....
???
Enough of the stupid talking points and talk like you've got a brain.
