    @ lecastor

    "Wake up, people! Obama is a cynical politician like the rest of 'em, his message is a fraud that he himself most likely doesn't believe [and if he does believe it, then we REALLY don't need someone like that as president], what he promises most certainly won't come true, and he's just stroking your liberalism to get you to vote for him with sweet nothings he knows you love. He doesn't really care about the policy, and he hasn't bothered to really learn it. He would be a worse president than Clinton."

    So many words that say nothing. Ad hominem really is a logical argument, isn't it?
