Has Obama really given you any reason not to trust him? [View All]

Rezko- Verdict: Obama proven trustworthy.
He is in no way implicated. Responded by strongly denouncing Rezko and giving back $$. Most politicians have had to deal with this at one time or another (including Hillary and McCain). It's an occupational hazzard to have scumbags forcing favor on you. It is a non-issue.

voting present- Verdict: Obama understands the system, Hillary doesn't.
"Criticizing Obama on the basis of 'present' votes indicates you don't have a great understanding of the process," ~ Thom Mannard, director of the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence.
"There is a presumption, if one is not familiar with the mechanics of the General Assembly, that a present vote is a 'duck.' Pam Sutherland, the CEO and President of Illinois Planned Parenthood said of Hull argument: 'I think it's not well-based...I think it's somebody who doesn't understand how the legislative process works."

There are other "issues" that Hillary's campaign has confronted him about as well, including actions his campaign has taken (ie: mailers in Ohio etc...), but as far as I have seen, on issue after issue, Obama has responded with dignity and honesty, and addressed them reasonably.
If you have any other examples where Obama has been attacked and proved the better for it, let's hear about it! :applause:

As I am sure there are plenty here who disagree and think Obama can't be trusted, I hope you will feel free to reasonably tell us why you feel this way... :pals:
