  • Simple Issue

    I have a very simple issue with Obama.

    I see him and I see a liberal version of a charismatic Reagan. I see him and I see the “I'm the decider, I’m the one with principles, and so don't need to know crap" liberal version of Bush.

    In summary both Reagan and Bush were idiots at everything except getting elected. Doesn't anybody remember one of the reasons Bush was such a strong candidate; he gave great political rally speeches and people FELT GOOD after he gave a speech. He was the “UNITER” too, remember? Remember the press giving Bush a pass on all the stupid policy things he would say because he was a "regular and principled guy"?. Come on, say you remember – it was not that long ago. I see similarities in Bushs campaign and Obamas - little substance but excellent politicking.

    I would like a lot more substance from Obama. But regardless, I would prefer a liberal in the White House vs. a conservative, but not wild about having to choose someone who ends up being an empty suit.
