We are about to elect a traitor to the White House and most Americans simply dont get it.
The economy; job losses; homelessness, etc
The War on Terror and Illegal Immigration. I would say the economy, but that problem was/is due to corrupt men and women, mostly democrats, like Franklin Rains, Jamie Gorelick, Jim Johnson, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Barack Obama, and corrupt organizations
Socialism. If we continue on the Democratic path, it will negatively affect our economy by removing the reasons to do a good job. We could crumble like the USSR.

need government to quit interfering in our lives
I think now that I've listened to Obama that his socialistic ideas are very problematic to me. The economy is very scary yes but are we going to totally turn into a socialist nation to save money. I am very afraid of a totally lopsided Congress. We need c
Not being in control of the Congress of the United States
Loss of morality and family values. We are worried about the economy than the salvation of our souls. The "In God We Trust" slogan has lost its meaning, as people worried about economy commit suicide, etc...

The Truth about Obama's character not being exposed in the Leftist news media. Why the Leftist news media isn't letting the American people know the truth about Obama. What are they hiding? And what's in it for them when they do hide the truth about Obama
that we keep bailing out failed banks, agencies, whatever. They should be allowed to fail just like we as business owners would have to do. We are tired of being on the short end of everything.
Our moral compass. If we get our morality back, then everything else will be easy to solve. We have too many greedy, self-serving politicians who don't care about the voters.

the apparent certainty of a wildly redistributionist regime in Washington in the form of an Obama Presidency and a Congress led and controlled by Pelosi and Reid. . .
We, as a nation, have become disinterested in the basics of the values on which this country was originally founded. We are therefore putting ourselves at risk of losing everything for which our forefathers fought and died.
The defabrication of family values and morals most especially the lack of respect for human life

The cost of the war and it's effect on our economy
I am a Christian and I feel the most important problem is the absence of God. I feel that if we have God in our decision making and morals restored to our politics, our country would greatly benefit. I believe that John McCain and Sarah Palin will bring t
I'm very concerned that O bama has very influencial people backing him up, that could take over our country. I'm so scared as to what our country faces if he should win. I don't trust him. He's got so much money backing him up with the campaign, it's unbe
The economy and national security. One's not really worth much without the other. Everyone tries to separate them, but actually it takes both. If neither candidate is multi-tasked then we're in a bind.
The most important problem is the economy going down the drain because of greedy people.
Terrorism, and keeping it off our soil...economics will play out..we may be poor, but as long as my family and I are safe and together is all that matters.

The public education system, especially at the local level, is a failure. This is due in part to the increased wave of immigration in the last 10 to 13 years. It has changed our schools' demographics, but is not the only cause for system's failure.
The cost of living ,high gsa prices,and the crime in our city.
