I believe that President Obama has a kind, loving, and compassionate heart. I can see it in the pictures of him with his family, the children he interacts with, and the elderly. In my opinion, that is critical for any President because it leads him/her to not just look at what is politically expedient but to consider what is best for the vast majority of the American people. That is why I loved the part of Michelle's speech at the convention when she described how he goes through his thought process in that way.
I believe that the evidence is overwhelming that Democrats are far better on economic issues that focus on stabilizing and improving the economy rather that their wealthy donors. I believe that President Obama has done a very good job on economic issues in one of the most difficult economic times in our history while facing the strongest opposition in Congress I have ever seen.
I believe that Democrats are more fair on civil rights and civil liberties issues. President Obama has taken several positive steps in that regard.
I believe that President Obama will continue to nominate Supreme Court Justices who will rule based on the Constitution rather than partisanship.
I believe that President Obama has done an excellent job regarding foreign affairs with the help of the phenomenal Hillary Clinton.
I believe that President Obama understands women's issues as evidenced by his signing of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
I believe in Obamacare and want it to stay in place for time to expand and improve it.
I believe that President Obama will always hold firm on sustaining and improving elements of the social safety net for the benefit of children, the elderly, the impoverished, and the sick.
Just a few reasons. These come from a Christian liberal and I am very proud to be one!
