My primary reason for not wanting Obama to be our President is that, in my opinion, he has little regard for the true intention of our Constitution, and the rule of law. Rather than follow the proper procedures of Congress, he uses executive privilege to get his way. Of course, other Presidents have as well, and I was not pleased when they did it either.
Another action I am not pleased with is his propensity to appoint officials, creating czar positions. Many of these positions are merely political dead weight, and their function is often clear as mud, only adding to the levels of bureaucracy.
In regards to Obamacare . . . he claims that it is the will of the people, but he never asked the people. He truly believes that being elected was the people's stamp of approval on whatever idea he comes up with. Poll after poll have shown that his health care bill is not favored by the majority.
Then, of course, are his failure to follow through on his commitments. Unemployment has remained high. Our budget is ever increasing, despite him promising to cut it in half within 3 years. After promising a more transparent and open government, he has banned the media from more meetings than any other President in history.
Honestly, I could go on, but would rather not. After 4 years, I believe he has proven that the job of President is something he is not yet able to handle. Perhaps in a decade or two, but not now.
I agree that it is the culture, and perhaps not the President that is truly the core problem, but Obama is clearly nurturing the state of dependency to his own gain.
