Does anybody know how he will derail the recession?
Bring the troops out of Iraq (after all he never supported the war ya know?)
Honestly, the more I hear and see about Obama is just disappointment.
He is a politician first, his orations on hope and opportunity don’t mean squat — there are serious problems in the US that need answering to, and while they play egotistical maniacs, the economy needs serious help, as well as a host of other problems.
let’s put it like this, if the situation was reverse, would Obama step down for the good of the country?
No — he has a super-ego just like HRC or McCain or any other presidential election.
The only thing that separates him is not the fact he will accomplish anything, but that he inspires people — but don’t go comparing him to a MLK or anything — Obama has no weight behind his words.
He can talk about race and international community, sure, by the nature of who and how he was raised, but honestly the question about Obama should not be “do you have experience?” but the question should be
What did you do in the last 8 years you were a politician.
Not, how long, but how MUCH did you do with the few years you had?
That’s the question we should be asking.
I have no doubt Obama will be elected, but this country will be in for a rude awakening when they realize oratory only takes you so far when you realize Greenspan has hamstringed the economy and Bernanke can’t save it.
When GEN Petraeus comes back and says the surge has done little to nothing in Iraq.
When we still have millions of uninsured americans, senators taking billions in pork projects (including Obama himself who took $300 million I believe, much of which was alotted to his mentor who gave him free pass in Illinois Senate), and those same black kids he talked about who are the victim of years of segregation will languish in their crummy, poor neighberhoods meanwhile his family sits comfortable in their $1.65 million house.
Man of great ideas, great speaking abilities, and great cogency he certainly is — but a man of the words he preaches he has not been seen.
Change I don’t believe in.
