Obama's position on America's foreign wars leading up to and during the 2008 elections were among the reasons I had some serious doubts about him....but I still preferred him far over John McCain. My doubts about Obama have proven to be well justified. I suspect McCain would have been even considerably worse. I would have preferred not to vote for either of them, though... My vote of choice would have been for either Dennis Kucinich or Ron Paul (though there are some things I disagree with in Ron Paul's philosopy and agenda, namely his peculiar (very negative) view of socialism...but I do agree with his views on America's foreign wars and a number of other things).

I'm Canadian, though, so I can't vote for any of them.
