Watching the Obama phenomenon unfold should give thinking people great concern. As I've listened and watched the debates and media sound bites, I have to confess I don't know what he stands for because he skillfully conceals it in his infectious rhetoric of 'change' and 'hope.' Many in America seem enthralled by his charismatic speeches and emotionally engaged not so much in what he might reasonably be able to accomplish as what he says he can do. It's as though a new social network has been created and fostered by the media, and people want to adopt this new cult.
His ability to deliver on the nebulous promises requires a great leap of faith, yet many people have embraced the aura created, but where's the beef?
He seems to lean far left and his voting record seems to confirm that. He is intelligent, though naive. The only direction in which I seem him moving this country further toward Socialism, a serious mistake.
If McCain and Obama are the nominees, American voters will split down many fault lines including race, gender, age, and income. Whether McCain can beat Obama is a long shot if the cultists all vote.
I wish we had different choices in this election...and I don't mean Hillary. The 'Billary bunch' cannot be happy!
