"why vote for Obama? What has he done in his career to encourage me that he is the right man for the office? "

Keep in mind neither Hillary or Obama will get exactly the plans and goals they want through congress. Whether it's healthcare, alternative energy, or stopping the corporate give aways. The key will be who can get more of their plan supported? Obama has shown his ability to bring people together. One example is here: http://www.samefacts.com/archives/barack_obama_/2008/01/obama_against_police_torture.php

As much as many of us like Hillary, she is divisive. She's not a consensus builder the way Obama is, so even though she would be a good leader, in comparison she lacks the critical negotiation skills that will bring progressive change to Washington.
