What would Barack Obama do if elected president?

AskObamaNow.com answers the question, “What would Obama do if elected?”  It’s a voter-friendly web site featuring short videos of Barack Obama simply giving direct answers to common questions.

Most voters distrust political advertising and avoid official campaign web sites.  Worse, most news reports describe controversies, poll results, and fund raising – they’re more interested in ratings and advertising revenues than in what they “report” on. Many of the most popular programs and sources display an obvious bias (as does this site.)

In these difficult times any new president requires the support and trust of the electorate, including particularly those who voted for the other party. The changes we need on everything from the burden of taxes to education of health care reform will require making many people more aware of what he would do if and when elected.

I often point you to information on the candidate’s web sites if what you find here isn’t answering your questions, though obviously the level of detail and transparency is different comparing Obama and McCain’s officially published information (presumably because that’s controlled by their campaign advisors who are fanatical about persuasion.) Searches will turn up some of the less-official answers to questions about deregulation, etc., inspiring anecdotes of personal dedication, and it’s fairly easy to find actual voting information online, but AskObamaNow.com has lots of the answers collected in one place about the most likely man to be our next President.

I’m still looking for an AskMcCainNow site to appear. Thus far I can only find his record; no luck on what he’d do.
