How do you come to that conclusion? If you're going to promote your candidate in a post, how 'bout some substance to back such and adament and consequential opion...."change"....what will change?
Disclaimer: I am an "easy" audience for your argument. I'm going to hold my nose and vote for him, too....but, I'm unenthusiastic, voting for him, because he seems to offer so little in the way of "change" in two most important areas.... military spending and right wing Israeli influence on US foreign and military policy, and in addressing and confronting the "break down" in the economic-political system that currently has the US sporting a GINI coeffuent rivaling those of Mexico and China....the most inequitable of any post industrailized nation.... a condition where the bottom 50 percent of Americans control only 2-1/2 percent of privately held wealth...and that number was estimated BEFORE housing valuations began to plummet. The least wealthy have a disproportionate percentage of their total wealth invested in the equity of the home they've mortgaged, compared to the wealthiest Americans.
As far as respect for the constitution and a disinclination to favor the accountability of the elite or corporations, Obama's rationalization of, and vote for FISA and amnesty for telecomms, demonstrates, in addition to the other shortcomings described above, without some further explanation from you, I don't understand what you are talking about....
