The President is someone who represents me, as well as every other American. I don’t want a President who lies, deceives, manipulates, and fearmongers, because that is not who I am. That is not I believe who we Americans are.
Hillary Clinton has attacked Barack Obama repeatedly about Rev. Wright, but this is a non-issue. Rev. Wright has said some things that appeared out-of-context to be quite un-American. He recently said more things which insult me as an American, and Obama has called him out on it and distanced himself from the man. I do not expect to see Rev. Wright visiting the White House when Obama is President.
Hillary Clinton has attacked Barack Obama repeatedly about Tony Rezko, but this is a non-issue. Tony Rezko has given money to past Obama campaigns, and Obama has made matching charitable donations to offset this. Tony Rezko is on trial for his crimes, and Obama is not even under investigation in connection with anything. I do not expect to see Tony Rezko getting pardoned when Obama is President.
Barack Obama’s attacks on Hillary have all been about her policies. He hasn’t gone through her past digging up unsavory figures and paraded them around. He hasn’t piled on when others have done this. Instead, he tries to change the subject back to the important issues.
I trust someone like this to run the country and represent me.

That’s the deal breaker for me. She lies. I can even handle Bush’s dimwitted decisions over someone I can’t trust to do what she says she will.
How can so many intelligent and not so intelligent people people not see she is so terrifying?
I know I am partial to Obama, but wow, it’s easy to support him because of his honesty!

Honesty? If you want integrity and honesty then you will not vote for either Clinton, Obama or McCain. Get real already!

Katie, why is that? I don’t see where I’m being fake at all, and I find your flippant disregard for my opinion to be insulting.
