Barack Obama is a lawyer and, since Nixon, I don't vote for lawyers, so there is no way I would vote for him. And he is clearly anti-business, and based on his record and his books he appears to be a socialist of the fascist type. I think that there are a lot of people in America who find his postions attractive. But, I have a hard time undertsanding why so may support him after he makes statements such as the following:

"... a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany ... and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama" - Barack Obama Lebanon, New Hampshire.
January 7, 2008.

"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."

Barack Obama

Some people must think he is kidding, but in the TV clips he appears to be serious.
