At our most recent 3E get together, the Bot seemed surprised I didn't support and was not excited about Barack Obama. Besides the horrible-bad-not-very-good bailout (and the associated fearmongering and debate-limiting rhetoric), here are some other reasons via a series of links.

"Obama backs off reversal on state secrets"
"Bid to reveal 'torture' evidence"
"Solicitor general nominee says 'enemy combatants' can be held without trial"
5-day rule? Obama's quick turnaround
Medical marijuana raids: 1 2
