Two interesting blog posts today from different political perspectives. First, Jake Tapper at ABC:
Quote:
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpu...bama-wept.html Then this from the conservative side, Scott Johnson of Powerline points out Bill Katz's ruminations on how great oration is overrated for the presidency. Quote:
http://www.powerlineblog.com/archive.../02/019737.php Notice how everytime Cali Coug posts on Obama, he follows it with about 30 exclamation points? "One step closer to President Barack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" It's like we're all 14-years-old. Grab a random member of the Obama cult off the street and see if he/she can tell you a major policy point. We're seeing a political campaign built around a personality rather than around substance, and it's a little bit scary. I may detest John McCain, but I can't deny that the man has ideas and we all know what they are (although he's a little guilty of identity politics as well). If Obama goes all the way, I have this hunch he's going to be in way over his head.

It is adorable that you keep trying to paint Obama as a candidate without any substance. Keep hoping, Tex. |

Not "noticing," "hoping."
Like I said, adorable. It does feel a bit like misdirected anger, though. It isn't Obama's fault your party is being flushed down the toilet. He might be the one that actually does the flushing, but can you blame him? Nobody leaves a giant terd floating in the toilet. |

He worked on projects and for slumlords in Chicago. What else has he done? He's Oprah Winfrey's gift to the masses. I see a smiling face with a tolerable voice, but no substance. The crowds seem detestingly orgasmic. He has lots of nice platitudes but no affordable program and no meaningful experience. Nobody has made a very good explanation of what his experience is, because he doesn't have any.

And this thread isn't about experience. It is about whether he has presented substantive ideas. |

Or maybe Tex is incapable of finding any reason any white person would ever vote for a black man other than white guilt. You should cut wider eye holes in the white sheets you use. They are restricting your view of the world to a pretty narrow one. |

That's actually a secondary point. This thread is more about why people are flocking to him in droves, and it ain't because of his ideas.

"We are the change of the status quo in Washington." How many politicians haven't said this, coming from a US Senator in Washington. He hasn't detailed an economic plan, but rather given a wish list of goodies to "buy" and "pander" for votes, but no David Stockman or Phil Gramm type analysis. Where's the beef? He is a cult figure with no substance.
