Why I Can't Support Barack Obama in the Democratic Primary

I am sure that his heart is in the right place and that his stand on the issues are solid, but the man seems more committed to playing nice with his Senate buddies like Joe Lieberman than standing up for core Democratic values. On this issue the Republicans are not interested in compromise, they are interested in sinking Social Security, the very core of the New Deal. Republicans understand power and discipline, and they won't give an inch that you don't drive them back. It makes no sense to compromise on an issue when there's no problem, political or fiscal. You would think that a Senator with such a healthy approval rating would take a few more risks.
