I voted for Obama because he had a clear and focused agenda for a) ending the war in Iraq b) restoring progressive taxation and eliminating corporate welfare and giveaways to the rich c) restoring the rule of law and closing Gitmo d) instituting health care reform e) supporting the middle class and sensible domestic economic policy f) he had good advisement from the best economic team available led by Paul Volcker, the SUCCESSFUL former head of the Fed g) he is not a Washington pol and h) he's honest and intelligent.

Thanks, Louise, that pretty much covers why I voted for him, too. I'd only add, He's not afraid to show his intelligence.
And isn't it funny? Once upon a time Republicans could be Progressive (think, Teddy Roosevelt).

dont' read stuff into my post and try to make it out to be more than it is.

that's okay... in another thread I learned that there's still a Soviet Union so I'm not surprised that no distinction is being drawn between social democracy and Communism. Finland and Sweden are social democracies. China is a communist state.
and I self-identified as an independent progressive, not a socialist.
