Senator Obama is an intelligent man, charming, good with language; a moderate when he needs to be (such as at the convention) and liberal when he needs to be; a good politician; puts the focus of christian religion back on the poor where it belongs instead of rants about abortion and stem cells; and is a breath of fresh air on the political scene.

but when he starts looking extremely liberal to us, society's got a big problem.

he's undoubtedly got a lot going for him. wish him well. let's not fall in love with him until we see what he does in the senate.

have a blessed day ...
