I've gotten some feedback from a few people about what "dads" seem to care about most.
1. The number one "dad issue" is, surprise, taxes. Which, of course, is the hardest position to defend cuz lots of dads are rich and will lose money under Obama. So anyone who has anything tax related please post it.
2. Another key issue is Obama's supposed opposition to free trade. Anyone got anything positive about Obama's position on free trade please post it.
And feel free to comment on the issues your dad values most. Thanks.

Taxes may go up for those who make more than 250,000 a year, but under Obama everyone will benefit from a stronger overall economy.
Obama isn't against rich people making money, building business, and creating jobs (who would be?). What he believes is that a healthy economy requires a healthy middle class.
The trickle-down economic philosphy, which has been employed for the past 8 years (and more), is making our country's economy look more and more like Mexico's, where a wealthy upper-class reaps most of the rewards, the middle class shrinks, and the lower class is transformed into an uneducated servant class.
If you're one of the wealthy, and you'd like to have an ecomony like Mexico's, then John McCain's your man.
Here in the U.S.A., the middle-class has tremendous buying power, and deserves lower taxes, fair wages, and enough money in the bank to shop. Growing wealth among the middle class means more customers and clients for wealthy business owners, therefore more cash flow, therefore greater wealth for everyone (not to mention lower health-care costs for biz owners). Under Obama the economy grows the way most things do: from the ground-up.
The rich don't suffer in America's economy. Higher taxes for the wealthy will be largely offset by a healthier economy. In the meantime new infrastructure and green-economy projects create millions of new jobs, in particular for out-of-work construction workers who are idle during the downturn in the housing market.
I'll look around for some clips that can show more of this economic philosphy, but as always his website is a good place to start.
