Can someone nicely tell me the reasons you support Obama?


I just can't figure it out...it SEEMS alot of people support him b/c he's the "popular" choice or because he's black. What is he going to do that benefits you?


Thanks in advance

My DH was a gunner providing convoy security in Iraq and he had similar experiences. It's so sad.

I agree. I can't even fully imagine what that would be like and they all have had to make that decision. I don't know any of them that didn't have to make terrible decisions while they were there.

Shh, you are further disproving her opinions. I agree with you 100%. When my nephew went in at 18 years old he had NO CLUE what he was getting himself into. He woke-up quick and hard in Iraq. We were in before 9.11 and didn't see it coming.

Yes, but the innocent are killed along with the guilty. I am sure your views on the death penalty might change, if God forbid, someone in your family was sentenced to death for a crime the didn't commit.

That really must be hard on your dh. I hope the Army gives him the help he deserves.
