Doug...I don't find it necessary to like Obama in order to prefer him to John McCain...if given that choice! ;-) I disapprove of the bank bailout Obama AND Bush gave to the 5 largest banks in your country. I disapprove of the wars and foreign occupations set in motion by George Bush and continued by Obama. I disapprove of Obama's enlarging the military involvement in Afghanistan, and I think McCain or Bush would have done the very same thing in his place, in all probability, plus some other stupid things. I disapprove of the current health care plan that is being attempted, because it doesn't go nearly far enough toward providing public health care for all Americans, and I think it's a giveaway to the private health insurance industry. I disagree with most of what Obama has done...but am I surprised? No. ;-) I've seen this happen before, and it's not surprising at all.

And I still prefer Obama to either Bush or McCain even THOUGH I'm displeased with him.

You see, disapproving of Mr Obama's policies does not equate to supporting the moronic policies of his erstwhile opponents, the Republicans in Congress.

They'd be even worse than him, if given the chance. Probably quite a bit worse.
