BARACK OBAMA

I am a firm believer in the old adage. if it's to good to be true, it isn't. So when it comes to Barack Obama, I don't instinctivly fall on the sword, and blindly follow him.

I can understand, the millions who fall for his praise the lord and pass the collection plate rethoric. It's easy to get enthusiastic in a crowd, as hand clapping and chanting, drown out what is really said.

A million promises made, with no guarantees, that any will be fofilled. All these slogans, won't repair the economy, or end the war.

One question keeps bothering me, as I listen to him speak about cleaning up the old ways of doing buisness in Washington. The old ways have got to go, according to him. So why is it that these, merchants of menace, that he is going to sweep out of Washington, so hell bent on supporting him?

Could it be, that he is selling his soul to the devil, just to make his mark on history?

You make a good point. Obama is not so much a progressive as a moderate. In many ways,he's much more centrist than Clinton. I agree that he is style over substance in some ways -- but after 8 years of an idiot who can't speak running around and insulting all of the world leaders, pretty speeches aren't all bad.
