Can Obama get things done? I dunno. I think he has a nice shot. He didn't win Iowa, (relegating Clinton to 3rd!) by being an outsider, inexperienced no-name politician. He did it the same as he won his state seat: technicalities and meticulous work on the ground with community organizers (swish!) and getting more warm bodies to the caucus sites to raise their hands in the air.
So the guy is smart and capable. He seems wise on his choices of advisors so far. If I wanted advice on the economy, I'd pick Warren Buffet too, lol. Foreign policy? Biden makes a shitload of sense. And so forth.
I think for me personally, I'm less worried with Obama/Biden than I am with McCain/Palin.... by a WIDE margin. Lets face it.. giving money breaks and tax incentives to the more wealthy portion and to big business has had a fair run. 8 years I'd call it. Hows it workin for us? Good or bad? Vote your belief and we'll all live with the outcome. |
what you say makes sense. one question though... why is mc cains only platform "giving tax breaks to the rich'? that's all anybody has to say... isn't that negative branding from the dems? I'm sure mc cain has other areas of interest?
the one thing that hit was mc cains statement: I've been fighting for this country for 17 years and I have the scars to prove it.
while obama seems to be mostly charismatic. that's great for getting stuff done, but is he a team player? most really charismatic people are completely fucked up in the head.
