OBAMA, issue-by-issue, an unofficial poll
Do you basically agree (A) or disagree (D) with Obama's policy on these issues?
PLEASE--Add up you own total and put the numbers at the bottom.
Also include not sure (NS), if you feel you must.
There seems to be so much argument on DU about supporting/not supporting Obama.
But most people here are not simplistic thinkers who give "knee-jerk" support or opposition.
You can disagree with Obama on a few issues, but still support him overall,
in opposition to Conservatives and GOPers' totally regressive policies.
That is my position.
But open disagreement on some issues is normal and healthy (that's why GOPers do it so little,
except in cases of "who hates the most"
.
So take it issue-by-issue and please list your totals below.
NOTE: IF ANYONE HAS ANY ISSUES TO ADD, PLEASE INCLUDE THEM
AND I WILL ADD THEM TO THE LIST BELOW.
