I couldn't agree with you more. I don't agree with his views on many issues but do think he is honest. But at our age you should know no one can get elected being honest and telling people the truth. Although I could not make myself vote for Obama in 08 I was interested and hopeful he was "the real deal" especially with his promise to get spending under control for the next generations. I hope the republicans can come up with a "real deal nominee".
