Probable Interest of those who agree with Obama: The desire to promote more positive role models for our youth

The desire to promote more positive role models for our youth (60%). This is understandable, but will result in government making more bad decisions. Sure, you want people with inspiring life stories to have success, however if everyone allowed themselves to make decisions on whether or not to support or oppose Obama based on this motivations, Obama would gain more support for his unwise policy decisions than they would be able to gain, in a battle field of ideas that was less impervious to motivation not related to the issue being discussed. You can still want Obama to succeed overall, but fight with him on specific issues. The desire to promote more positive role models for our youth is a bad reason, by itself, to agree with Obama on specific policy decisions.
