Sure it's a free country, funny if you had asked this a couple of weeks ago it would have been thought of as "racist". Take care. Times are changing!

Absolutely yes. There are many people I like personally that I would not want as president. I think your ability to make these distinctions brands you as a thinking person, even though I disagree with your conclusions.

I would urge you to find out more about him and question the conclusions you have drawn at this point. It could turn out that some of the things you have been told are not true. For instance, you say you don't like his supporters, but all the ones I have met are terrific people and truly interested in bringing our country together.

Excellent point. Many of the world's greatest leaders haven't been very likeable people.

Many people here don't get that. They talk about Bush's personality and McCain's personality, and drool over Obama's personality - - and it doesn't even matter. Obama's "got a great personality" - but lacks common sense and true character. McCain "has a temper" that by all accounts shows when he is feeling very passionate about his work on some current issue - a trait probably desirable in a leader. Screwy priorities.

As for me personally, I wouldn't like Obama as a person either. . . he strikes me as arrogant and phony.

Of course you can. You can think he is the coolest boy in town and still dislike his politics. In this case it's important what you think of his political views, because he is running for President. If you were deciding if he was going to be your best friend or not than you would look at his personality. I don't think you would care about his politics, in that case.

I have to agree with you. The Obama haters are probably some of the worst examples of humanity I can imagine, but I am not a fan of Obama myself. I don't make it personal though. If I met Obama at the mall or at a bar, I'd buy him a drink.

Of course. I have a lot of respect for John McCain. Served our country, was a POW, he's a hero in his devotion to the U.S. He's served as a Senator, and devoted his life to being a public servant. As much as I respect this man, I can not vote for him for President. I don't think he's in touch with the struggles and issues of middle class families.

Why wouldn't you? There are lots of Senators, Congressmen/women who like their political opposite, but still like each other. they often socialize with each other. You are a good person to feel this way. Good question. * 4 u. It's to bad everyone isn't as mature as you are

You most certainly can, and I for one respect your thought process. All too many out there vote for a facade. You aren't because you've made an informed decision. Good for you for using your head.

Of course. A person's political viewpoints do not define who they are as a person, as long as their motives are good. So until Obama starts talking about rounding up Jews, you go ahead and like him as a person.

yes you can! if you don't like how someone thinks you can still like them as a person, i don't like obama's politics either but i respect him and i like him as a person. a lot of my freinds i don't agree with in a lot of issues but they are fun to hang out with so i don't care. we all have to remember that a person's views does not reflect the person.
