    MIGHT BE TOO LITTLE - TOO LATE FOR OBAMA

    Now that Obama has squandered his own summer with no central message or theme or rhyme nor reason for his running for President other than because he wants to, it might just be too late.

    I've watched the clips of him on CNN - his hesitant speaking style which only serves to reinforce that "is he live or is it Memorex?" criticism. He's tired, looks tired, and sounds tired. Certainly not the "yes, we can" jive from 6 months ago!

    Obama is weak. He's ambitious, but he's weak. He looks weak. And he sounds weak. And there isn't much that can be hidden, spinned, or telepromptered up about that fact.

    I cannot bring myself to vote for him. Sorry.
