Obama is clearly for change as he has been demonstrating during the primary...
*crickets*crickets*
Oh, or not so clearly it seems. He is supposed to bring people together, right? That's what he claims. But I've only seen him conflate anything Bill and Hillary say as racist and create the new game of "critiquing Obama is morally wrong".
Look at the supporters he's gathered. Inspired on one hand, snarky as hell and extremely judgmental about his biggest rival: Hillary, on the other.
Sure, I'm supposed to believe that Obama is able to change the tone; he makes it seem so easy with the way the primary has gone so far. And with you passionate Obama supporters trailing behind and busily building that broad consensus, why I just fill up with warm fuzzies knowing that you hate Hillary more than republicans at this point. That's change.
Obama compares himself to the American icons MLK Jr. and JFK. For someone who hasn't done the hard work that they have, it clearly shows that he doesn't execute what he preaches very well. Do we have Alpha Male syndrome here, again?
I'm still searching for that "change" and "broad consensus" that must have occurred in the Senate after he joined in '05. It must be self-evident, right? I'm just puzzled how the Republicans managed to stand by Bush's extremely unpopular policies and obstruct the congress, considering 'The Obama' was staring at them in the face and inspiring them to reach across the aisle to sensible progressive policies. I'm also puzzled by the diving approval numbers of Congress, since Obama is there and must have produced all that positive change.
I'm also puzzled at how he can make an anti-war speech, then once in congress fall in line resulting in the same war funding record as *gasp* Hillary.
One thing I am sure of; this post will not be an Editor's Choice, because it's not a positive spin on Obama. Sorry, Tim...I'll try harder next time to change and build a better consensus with reality and rhetoric! Because I really want that digital red star!
