You guys are forgetting, Obama economic policy in higher taxes for those who makes 250,000 or above. High taxes for oil company. But no higher taxes on anyone makes lesser than 250,000. Mccain support Bush taxes cut.

You're wrong on Obama's Iraq position too. He wants full withdrawal by March 2008? He wasn't even the nominee yet! It's more like a minimum of 18 months, so that puts withdrawal in 2010-2011. This is so obvious!

People are disagreeing due to the fact that on the issue of Immigration, Barack Obama does NOT support a fence along the Mexican border. As this is one of the major issues, especially in the Hispanic community, this represents dis-information and as such, people disagree.
