Obama wants change but does not have a plan for change.

Obama simply wants to be THE President of the United States and he is a great snake oil salesman.

Why do you say that? These attacks are common, but I'd say pretty much everyone who uses them doesn't know enough of the facts to even fake being informed.
What has Obama
not done that you feel he should have? What has he
not addressed that the other candidates have? What has he
not done that the other candidates haven't done either, but should? I look at his website and see plans. I hear him talk about what he will do quite often. So if you meant he has absolutely no plans you are obviously wrong. I have to assume you think he hasn't responded to something important. Where are the holes?

Obama has the MOST liberal voting record.

If I set the rules up the right way I can claim you are a Liberal or a Conservative easily: Conservative = religious right, so I only count votes on inserting or keeping religion out of government (a flawed, but commonly accepted view, is that the religious right is conservative) Any person who votes against creationism taught as science would then be a liberal on that vote. It's "technically" the truth, but in modern terms it's a blatant lie and misrepresents the views of those voting. I bet I could find many conservatives amongst the nays.
Take all statistical analysis with a grain of salt. You can't verify the truth unless you look at the data yourself. Statisticians hide it far better than in the example above, but many make a living by finding ways to get the answer their employer wants instead of finding the true answer.
But let's assume you're right. Which votes has he made that you specifically disagree with, and why? Why is having a liberal voting record innately bad? Don't the specifics factor in? Unless you think every single liberal interpretation of the law is innately terrible you should probably look at the details.
I have no problem with criticizing him based on his policies. But nobody using the argument you made actually talks policy, they're just running on propaganda. Guilty of what they accuse Obama's people of. There are plenty of problems with his votes and laws he has pushed for IMO. I'll join you in criticizing him. So do it instead of trying to state your opinions as fact.

Obama has zero administrative experience.

A non-issue. While experience is not bad to have it does not disqualify him from having the judgement, legal knowledge, and skills to run the country. I would rather vote for the skilled, intelligent, and perceptive man who has been doing the job for a couple of years than the one who has done his job poorly for 20 years. We all know experience != good at the job, and that inexperience != bad at the job. Many feel Obama is skilled, intelligent, and perceptive while his opposition is not.
Most of the time, when I look at his policies, I think I won't like what is coming. But I feel that way about all the candidates. The difference with Obama is that on occasion he makes insightful comments or speaks honestly and openly about something. I never stop thinking the other two will be terrible. I have moments with Obama.
But again, let's give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it is an issue. What has this experience given your favorite candidate that Obama could not have without the experience? And why do those qualities outweigh the advantages Obama has over them?
