In no particular order, the reasons I am not voting for Obama. (reasons for McCain later)

*Not accomplished enough. He has never run a business and met a payroll; or accomplished serious things in politics; nor does he have a list of serious publications detailing a political philosophy.

*He is not seasoned enough. It appears that his greatest testing came from the nomination contest with Hillary Clinton.

*His hubris. In spite of his weak record, he thinks he is qualified to be President of the United States. And, as Farmer pointed out, he cannot admit mistakes. He also seems unable to laugh at himself, or tolerate it when others laugh at him.

*His voting record in the United States Senate is the most liberal of that body; quite a feat in a group that includes Ted Kennedy and John Kerry.

*His political style is Chicago intimidation. Attack his critics personally as racist, distort their records, ally himself with voter fraud (do a web search for ACORN and OBAMA).

*He defended killing or allowing to die infants born alive during abortions.

*His long association with Hate Americans such as Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, and others.

*His slippery half-truths and omissions when confronted about his past associations. Obama makes Tricky Dick Nixon seem straightforward.

*His long association with socialists and other leftists makes me assume that his governing philosophy will be hard left.

*I expect a president Obama to nominate judicial activist judges.

*The Democrats probably will control Congress after the elections. Obama in the White House will give Dems a free hand to do whatever they wish to the country.

*Michelle. Notice that she is being kept out of the news. She has a record of hating America, and being whiny and demanding in her jobs.

*I really do want a black president some day. But, I want this step up from our past to be accomplished by someone who will succeed. Someone with a track record of accomplishment.

*Obama seems lost without his teleprompter. His long pauses and stutters during unscripted speaking makes me think he is not quick on his feet.

*He seems naive about foreign policy, and on a deep level naive about power relations in the real world.

*His biggest executive decision so far of the General Election campaign: choosing Joe Biden as his running mate.
