He may be a smart and talented person that is a gifted orator, but he needs to be more than that to be deserving of the Presidency. There are many talented people out there that do not deserve to be President.
It has to be more than just words and to date Obama (or any other candidate) has not convinced me that he is worth my vote. I hear a lot of words and a lots of policies designed to be popular. Sadly, popular doesn't always make something right... in fact more often popular is wrong.
Obama has not won my vote and in fact the things I've seen of his platform convince me that he will be wrong for the businesses of this country and as a result wrong for the economy of this country. When your policies are not pro-business and pro-economy then we all suffer.
Sorry, as I said all earlier, none of these candidates are up to snuff. I want a Mulligan.

There lies the difference between you, myself and Obama. Obama is very highly educated and could have easily made millions in a law firm, he could have had the easy life and continue teaching constitutional law. Yet he feels he could make a difference, a difference for the common man. You may not like his platform but you have to admire his intellect and his desire to do public service. If all the highly educated people you would like to see just used that education for monetary means then what are we left with in politicians?
