1. I like the public healthcare proposal

2. Like most would say, he's not Bush. I feel that Bush is actually putting the US in more danger with his choices as our leader. He's doing nothing except angering the rest of the world.

...and fight terrorism by declaring war? By actually battling these people who are willing to kill themselves to take you and 50 other people out? Sorry, not the way to conquer that beast. I'm not sure of a better way (improve foreign policy and show some respect to other nations?), but declaring "war" on them and bombing their training facilities just temporarily puts things on hold while they recruit even MORE people who are sick of our bullshit.

Just take a few minutes to ask people overseas what they think about the US. It's not good. I just don't feel comfortable with that and with him as my leader.

3. Abortion issue doesn't concern me. They'll never be illegal (rightfully so), so whether he's against them or not is irrelevant, really.

4. Bush is closed minded. Look at his stance on gay marriages. You're basically denying someone of something because of their sexual orientation, and that goes against what this country stands for. This is equivalent of any public official within the last 50 or so years being a segregationist.

Whether or not he'll be a better president and will actually follow through with what he has to say has yet to be seen, but it's a gamble I'm willing to take.

[edit]

I don't know if it's just me, but I want a leader who's NOT religious. I hate when leaders ramble on about god (like Bush when he talks his anti-gay marriage stuff).. look, do your job as a president, not a preacher. I didn't elect you so you can spout off about what's right/wrong in the eyes of God. Just follow the f'n law.
