As a democrat I agree with you about Obama.
He is a phony. He has a very cautious voting record in the US and Illinois Senate and never has exercised any bold leadership..
He has gotten where he is by sucking up to corporate America.
I suggest you read the Nov.2006 "Harper`s magazine-the article "Barack Obama Inc. The Birth of a Washington Machine", by Ken Silverstein.

This came from Paul Krugman`s blog:
"One thing I worry about a lot if Obama is the Dem nominee — and he's surely the frontrunner now — is that there will be a backlash against Obamamania. Actually, it's already starting — probably too late to have much effect on the nomination fight, but in plenty of time to affect the general election.I hope I'm just a cynical baby boomer who has never really trusted any politician since 1968. But I just have a very bad feeling about the way things are going. "
I agree with him 100%. I will not vote for Obama and neither will many of friends who are mainly Jewish, older and consider themselves Democrats..
