I'll hop in here on this one. Not that McCain is any better, but...
First off, let me just start by saying I think it is healthy to be cautious about believing in people in power because of how they portray themselves and have themselves portrayed in the media. I am a patriot and I believe in the Constitution and I like to keep in mind the principles upon which our country was set up. Not to blatantly compare the two, but please remember Hitler himself was very charismatic, he told Germans what they wanted to hear and he made them rich.
As for Obama, I think he's a creative word manipulator, if I can call it that. I do not think we are going to see a true end to the war in Iraq and I hope I'm wrong on this one... BUT... ((and this is my main thing and has been since the beginning)) His website, as I quoted somewhere earlier has always said that he is not calling for a true pullout of Iraq, as he leads everyone to believe.
Second, well, we'll just sum this up to say that he keeps some very sketchy company. I think one of the best ways to tell something about someone in Washington is to tell who they are A) related to B)sponsored by and 3)including in their list of advisors.
Obama works with sketchy and elitist individuals, such as Robert Wolf, Buffett, Paul Volcker, Susan Rice and Brzezinski of all people! Yeah, let's get some more advice from that guy!
I do not buy his phoney rhetoric about confronting poverty and social inequality. Given these big business and Trilateral Commission ties and the fact that his incessant promises of change aren't backed by any amazing and realistic economic program that actually challenges the profit interests of giant corporations and Wall Street, I call BS!
Anyone who has ties to David Rockefeller with one person in between is not quite on my list of people to be trusted. Sorry.
Neither is someone who is actually related to Dick Cheney, Harry Truman, AND the Bushs, etc. etc. etc.

Oh and a few more of my personal reasons from the link below...
He has no experience to speak of.
He believes that bankrupting industry is a legitimate function of government
History of associating with domestic terrorists, a racist pastor, Lewy Farrakhan, and corrupt business thugs. (oops, referred to some of that already)
Used illegal drugs in his youth. (oh wait, that's a presidential norm, now) nm.
