| That's exactly what's wrong with supporting Obama right now. He certainly is doing a wonderful job inspiring and attracting many new voters: minorities, young white men and slowly everyone else. The problem is that many of the Obama supporters do not evaluate him critically like they do everyone else. He's getting a free pass on having no specific plans for Iraq (pulling out is not as easy as it sounds), medical coverage, economy, terrorism, etc.
I wish there was a way to remind every voter that the President of the United States is still the most powerful job on the face of this planet. No matter how much the Monica Lewinsky scandal and GWB's 8 years of disaster has made a mockery of the position, we need to put real leaders with experience in charge. JFK was even more charismatic than Obama, but he was not a very good president in hindsight.
Obama will be MORE capable in 8 years. Don't let him get the job prematurely and ruin one of our best hopes for the future. He has a lot of potential, but let's see some results before we annoint him the savior of America.  |
