Alright, since you're clearly just articulating a more eloquent version of "empty suit", I'll try and come at you another way...
It's true he offers the idea of hope...but not concrete changes. That's the nature of hope kiddo, you gotta take a chance.
Why not take that chance? After all, there is no way he can do worse that GWB or McCain now is there?

p.s. Trudeau actually mirrors Obama quite well you know...he was pretty lean on credentials prior to his election (2 years as justice minister, editor of a journal for about a decade) but hey, all he did was give Canada a constitution and a Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Sometimes hope pays off.
