I came across a list someone else did for not voting Obama…and it basically mirrors mine, so I’m posting it here. It sums it up:

12 Reasons I Can’t Vote for Obama —
1) ECONOMICS — Every platform plan leans towards Marxism (class divisiveness with a huge “redistribution of wealth”) in a MUCH bigger government.
2) TAXES – The cost of his proposed programs, plus his admitted tax increase plans, plus his intentions to not renew the Bush tax cuts would result in the LARGEST tax increase in history! His Global Poverty Act will commit the US to $845 billion in a stealth “world tax” to the United Nations.
3) IRAQ – I can’t fathom his premature withdrawal plans that will snatch defeat from our near-victory, negating all the sacrifice to this point. 4) FOREIGN AFFAIRS — Obama’s foreign policy credentials include only one brief official visit to London. He wants to have unstructured meetings without preconditions to rogue leaders. And he has yet to travel to Iraq or Afghanistan, which is ridiculous.
5) ABORTION – Obama never met an abortion bill he didn’t like, including “partial-birth” and not allowing medical care for “survivors” of failed abortions, basically infanticide!
6) JUDGEMENT – If Obama says the Rev. Wright (and Resko) was “not the man I knew” (for 20 years), he must be the worst judge of character in the world. 7) EXPERIENCE — Obama’s ONE productive year in the Illinois Senate (the first 7 were “do-nothing” years), and a couple of years in the US Senate shows us that the Democratic primary voters care little about experience. His ONE and ONLY bill he actually spnsored and got passed? The Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act of 2006. The bill would set forth specified U.S. political, social, civil, and economic policy objectives with respect to the DRC.
8) DEFENSE/MILITARY – His public statements call for cut-backs in all areas of the military at a time when congress has called for a larger Army and Marine corps, and we are in a global war on terror. 9) ASSOCIATIONS — Rev. Wright, Frank Davis, Tony Resko, William Ayers, Nadhmia Auchi, Eric Holder, Jim Johnson… enough said.
10) ELITISM — He sees himself as representing the “masses”, but he has no clue as to the mindset of the average American (guns-religion-bitter- gaff…oh, and “what’s a hitch ball?” ).
11) NO “CHANGE” — Obama can say “the challenges (are) too great to play the same Washington game with the same Washington players”, but his staff is full of the SAME back-seat Democratic operatives, Jim Johnson, Eric Holder, plus Dean, Read, and Pelosi “selecting” him for the DNC…’nuff said.
12) MICHELLE – Sorry, but she is “frustrated and disappointed” with this country, a negative “whiner”, and is all about reverse discrimination.
