Does anyone have anything positive to say about Obama?

And specific?
Just wondering.
Posts on this board mirror the candidates' campaigns - all negative about the other side, but nothing positive or of substance about their own policies.

The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

Yes. very briefly, I support the ending of the tax-cuts for the wealthy accompanied by tax cuts for people like me.
I also like the fact that we are going to try to engage our enemies in dialogue in an attempt to solve problems.
Tuition money for community service for college students is fantastic as well.0 -
I like his tax proposal...
I like that he wants to address the nations crumbling infrastructure...
I like that he thinks things through...0 -
I think he's an excellent speaker.
He wore a great tie during one of the debates.
When he says, "listen"... I tend to listen.0 -
He seems like a genuine guy, like he really does want to make this country better. I just don't agree with his policies."When one gets in bed with government, one must expect the diseases it spreads." - Ron Paul0

He's intelligent.
He can think for himself.
He's diverse.
He's from modest upbringings.
He doesn't believe negotion is a weakness or cowardly.
He has a calm approach
He's grounded and can relate to all Americans.
He's calculated and careful.
He's inspirational.
He listens.the Minions0 -

hitler was a good speaker to, can't deny that. not much to like about him.......
i'm not comparing obama to hitler in any other way besides them both being good speakers. I just don't see that as a reason to LIKE a candidate.It's all happening....

Since there appears to be SOME negativity towards him being black, I'll just say he's half white?

I don't "like" him at all. This thread was about saying something "positive" about him. I did that.0 -

touche. missed your point, my bad. I just hear so many people say they support him for this reason and i think it's a pretty poor reason to support him.It's all happening....

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean that's a storybook, man."
-- V.P. nominee Joe Biden on Obama during the Dem. primary race
Obama is very smart and obviously a very hard worker. He understands the gravity of things and I doubt he rushes into decisions. Just seems like a solid guy all around."Almost all those politicians took money from Enron, and there they are holding hearings. That's like O.J. Simpson getting in the Rae Carruth jury pool." -- Charles Barkley0 -
His ability to be calm, collected and his measured responses are all certainly positives in my book.
I hope though that he is able to show some measured passion as well, that's missing.hippiemom = goodness0 -
Obama has intelligence and vision and can turn that vision into results through excellent staffing and strategic choices. If he runs the presidency anything like he has run this campaign, he will be one of the most effective presidents the U.S. has ever seen.0

well said.
and he's the cat's pyjamas.......is that positive?
i think he will be an extremely effective president and world leader. i think he will do much to unite our country, i think he will work wonders with how the world perceives us as global citizens, and i think he will do much to end the war quickly and safely, reform our healthcare and work on the deficit.....for starters. i see him as president being an extremely *positive* step for our country, period.Stay with me...
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow0 -

With the promise he's made, he'll have to run the presidency like his campaign....needing billions of taxpayers $.
Crap, suppose to be positive....
I actually like the idea of using diolugue with nations to try and drive the behaviors and results you would like to see.hippiemom = goodness0 -
He's so good at speaking that you get lost in his words and 10 minutes later you realize he didn't say anything. He can use this ability with world leaders, when he wants to meet and not really say anything.0
