As Bill Clinton said weeks ago: "Give me a break!" Anyone who questions any aspect...ANY aspect...of the Barack Obama campaign is labeled as "racist", "out-of-touch", "distortionist" or worse. I, frankly, am sick of it.
Barack Obama is a likeable enough candidate (as he opined about Hillary), but, he lacks the experience, gravitas and life-experience to be an effective President from day one. I believe he will achieve that status...in about eight years. That would roughly correspond with the end of his two terms as Hillary's VP. He needs that eight year seasoning to be the kind of President that his supporters want. He isn't there yet.
Plus, all I hear from Senator Obama are platitudes, generalities, over-blown fluffy rhetoric and switcheroo cadences ranging from Black-preacher pulpitizing to yuppifying yammering. Specificity isn't his strong-suit.
"Give me a break."
