People are beginning to realise:
- Obama will never commit to anything for fear of taking a negative stance
- during his time in Congress he has never taken a controversial stance
- he relies on vague platitudes and nebulous statements
"the dawn of a new day"
"we're going to turn the page and write a new chapter"
"Yes we can"
sounds nice but is too far removed from real life
- his supporters don't know why they support him! Ask a prospective Obama voter what Obama stands for, and ask them to name ONE SINGLE ACHIEVEMENT of Obama!
They can't do it!
Now the Republicans and the press are beginning to close in on him and ask tough questions.
Obama won't be able to dodge for much longer.
And if Obama is the nominee McCain will eat him for breakfast. | Well said garysher. I find him childish to be truthful relying on the lowest common denominator every single time and he says nothing of relevance just the 'dream' he has to change DC. Does DC know?? Because without the consent of DC no-one will change anything..its rhetoric...he has bumper sticker slogans to spare
He has no achievements of any kind domestic or foreign. Whilst Hilary may not be the most likeable of candidates ever, but its actually not suppose to be a personality contest. Its about who will be best for our Nation and by extension because what we do effects everyone else, the rest of the world. And someone with no experience of any kind and someone no-one outside the US heard of before 6 months ago and have never met is not the person.
Given time I think he will be a great leader but McCain will eat him alive. McCain is way to caustic and quick witted for this guy to handle, not because Obama is not intelligent, of course he is, but mainly because McCain has so much political experience. Hilary is a much better suited candiate to go against McCain. He jumps positions all the time because he will not take a stance, which just makes him McCain canon fodder. The "We can Do it"?? bumper sticker is just not going to cut it.
During this never ending campaign I have been amazed at the amount of people who whilst trying to avoid sounding racist have had no issue with sounding totally sexist some of the time bordering on mysoginistic including Obama himself...its a sad indictment on the political process IMO...stick to the facts at issue not her gender or his race or vice versa. |
