I voted for Barack Obama because I agree with the need to end the Iraq War responsibly, I agree with his stance on teachers unions, I agree with his tax policy and I like the transparency that he brought to the senate and that he plans on bringing to the White House. I agree with his stance on closing Guantanamo. I think he has a more solid voting record when it comes to veteran's affairs. Compared to McCain, to me Obama is clearly more competent and intelligent, as demonstrated in the way their respective campaigns were managed. I believe Obama can do a better job helping our economy recover and lowering the percentage of foreign oil we use over the next decade. Obama plans on putting more money into energy independence and public works projects. I like that, while imperfect, the Obama campaign's average donation was much smaller than any other campaign. I like that, while imperfect, he has changed his position far fewer times than McCain, and that the changes were not as fundamental as McCain's. I liked that Obama, on the whole, ran a positive campaign and had positive tv ads, while McCain, on the whole, did just the opposite.

On the flip side, I was put off by McCain's blatant attempt to win over ex-Hillary supporters with Palin, rather than chose someone actually capable of taking over the job of US President. I was put off by the McCain campaign calling tax rates lower than that of the Ronald Reagan years "spreading the wealth", and saw it as a blatant attempt to play into mainstream Amercia's fears of Communism. McCain is too old and I personally think that being a war veteran is a good reason NOT to make someone in charge of the country, if anything at all. The idea that McCain had a good chance of dieing (looking at medical statistics) during his presidency, a long with his choice of Palin, sealed the deal.

I could go on and on, but I think a far better question to ask would be "Why on earth did you vote for John McCain?" DarkKnight it's pretty clear you think that anyone who voted for Obama did so because he is black. This is completely wrong and offensive to all the Obama voters who took the time to inform themselves about the issues. I could just as easily accuse you of voting for whoever you voted for because he's white.
