Here is a test to tell you where you agree or disagree with Obama

This is pretty interesting. It asks you many questions, about where you stand on energy issues, or environmental issues or raising prices or taxes. The test will ask you what you believe, and many of the questions, you won't know where Obama stands on these issues until the very end. It's pretty thought-provoking. Try it out.

It was very interesting but obviously biased against Obama. I think the questions were worded in a leading way against Obama. I'd like to see a site that has a similar test with questions from both candidates' issues worded in an unbiased way. Or the author of this Obama test should do a similar test with McCain's issues.

Yes, I would like to see a test for the other side also. I did find it very interesting that most of the questions didn't tell you ahead of time what Obama's standing was...you had to say what you were for or against and wait until the end to see how you matched up.

This is a great test. There ought to be such questionaires prepared each election, for each office, covering all the candidates.
I am proud to say I opposed 0bama 94% of the time.

BTW: This just goes to show even a liberal socialist like 0bama is not wrong all the time.

I disagreed with Obama on most of his proposals. I have to say that some people might be confused on some of the language on some of the questions. I can tell that whoever wrote them was against Obama. On some of the issues, I would not have any opinions on it at all, such as gay marriage, but it wouldn't let me get by without answering those questions.

However, I just noticed what other people said about their scores and I seem to agree with him more than you guys. I think I got 72% disagree. I consider myself a moderate with a slight conservative stance.

I got them all against Obama except one. I think abortion should be illegal except to save a woman's life and that means if she has an ectopic pregnancy and the unborn little one is in her tubes and in that case, they should try to remove the baby as carefully as possible, but that was not specified.

I didn't need a test to tell me, but it was interesting, nonetheless! I think this campaign has done a very good job of creating a smoke screen so that few take the time to even think about issues that are important. They're too busy bashing each other.

Apparently I oppose Obama 92% of the time. Sounds about right to me.
I also appose the weighted questions here. I had to read the questions carefully to know whether I was answering them the way I wanted to or not.

That was interesting. I agreed with him 53% of the time...

I did the test and found it pretty interesting though I think some of the questions were loaded and therefore might steer you in a certain direction. Also, the options in terms of answers to some of the quetions were too black and white, when sometimes other 'greyer' options are necessary.
In my case, I supported Obama 57% of the time, so it seems I'm pretty middle of the road, but leaning to the left. That seems about right in my case!
