When Obama was running for Senate for the first time, his Republican opponent got screwed when his divorce records were cracked open by Democrats and it turned out he "forced" his wife to go to strip clubs. Yah, the guy was a sleaze, but I loved how this miraculously surfaced at just the right time, so the Republicans couldn't find anyone decent at that point and campaign for him properly. Look me straight in the face and tell me Obama had NOTHING to do with that. Obama would have still won, fair and square, but he chose to do this instead. The man is a piece of $hit, and not the touchy feely liberal everybody seems to think he is.
My biggest deal with Obama is he was Senator for a couple terms, which doesn't qualify him for a presidential position. Kennedy had the very same issue (and strong points) as Obama running for President, won, and then the world nearly got into nuclear war during Bay of Pigs, which if you read history was completely Kennedy's fault. He tried assassinating Castro, which led him to put Russian nukes on Cuban territory. Russia was the country that backed down, but honestly, relying on Communist dictators to do the sane thing was not exactly the best idea. I remember all that more than Kennedy's pretty speeches, and that sort of thing matters more than pretty speeches, which is basically the only thing Obama is good at. McCain may have sold out, but at least he knows what he's doing.
Like McCain is such a nice guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH0xzsogzAk
