We know he's a "hope monger," but the rest of Obama's unconventional message is elusive.
  • Talk is cheap

    Check out his voting record on Iraq and the "war on terror." He's the same as Clinton! What does it matter what you believe in if you don't have actions to back it up?

    What the hell are we doing voting for "hope" without actions, leadership experience, or results? Was it "hope" that caused him to seek out the support of a violent homophobic bigot, fail to vote against Mukasey, fail to charge against the Military Commissions Act that legalized torture and destroyed habeus corpus, spew inflammatory rhetoric on Pakistan that included threats to violate its national sovereignty if Musharraf failed to act and promising to deploy US troops to an unstable nuclear-powered Muslim country, or repeatedly vote to give Bush a blank check to fund an unending occupation?

    He may promise that he's "change we can believe in" but I'd rather have change that is real.
