  purpose driven

  Senator Obama is never specific. He's more of a typical politician than any I've seen in a long time. His talk about his faith also rings hollow, as if it's just another campaign speech and pre-written. This might not be the case about his faith, but it's the way it comes off to me. As for never being specific, well he isn't and I don't think we ever get a straight answer out of him. Even when he does comment on an issue, then changes his mind, he is constantly going back and telling us something like.."If you had listened to me in the past I said yadda yadda yadda..." His explainations never seem to really answer his flip flops, his gaffes like that in which is known as "bittergate"...the "typical white people" comment or any of his relationships with people that others find of questionable character.

  I still don't think I've gotten an understanding of the man, I don't think I ever will. It will always be non-specific, or he'll brush it off as "silly" which he seems to do alot. He is right in being too cautious...or is it deceptive? He should just tell the truth, take a stance for once in his career. Enough of the easy going guy who basically says noting and keeps his opinions to himself by voting "present" or not voting at all. A person does that so their is nothing that will stick...but it leave a greasy candidate you just have to wonder where he stand.
