Top 10 Reasons Obama Is The Man
10. He looks cool on T-Shirts
9. He inhaled, and we quote, “That was the point.”
Why deny it? Why play games? We’re big boys and girls, we can handle it.

SEP 2002: Obama Said The President Had Not Made The Case To Go To War. [Chicago Defender, 9/26/02] OCT 2002: Obama Said That Iraq War Would Require an Occupation of Undetermined Length, Cost and Consequences. In 2002, Obama said, I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences… fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of Al-Qaeda [Obama Speech, 10/26/02] MAR 2003: Obama Said That While He Questioned Bush War, Supported Troops. As some of you may know, I’ve certainly had questions with respect to the administration’s foreign policy, but I absolutely agree that the minute that the President makes a decision and that we have our Armed Service men and women in harms way, that we all have to unify immediately and make sure that they come back as safely and as quickly as possible. [Obama Floor Statement, 93rd GA, 3/20/03, p 219]

4. He can spell D-I-P-L-O-M-A-C-Y (that’s a “We need start) a president who’ll have the strength and courage to go toe to toe with the
leaders of rogue nations, because that’s what it takes to protect our security,” the Illinois senator told Democrats at a rally. “That’s what I’ll do as your next commander in chief.” In terms of role models, he invoked late presidents John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan for their Cold War diplomacy.
3. His campaign is being financed by THE PEOPLE - 2,000,000 individuals have contributed, and that ain’t bad (most ever)
Other candidates talk about CHANGE… Obama is already doing it - his campaign is growing in innovative ways and it’s funded by US, so he’s only accountable to US.
2. He can remember the difference between Shiites and Sunnis
