All day the other day the talk was about the borrowed speech lines. Now listen, I dont have a problem with it. He's used them before and this time he just forgot to credit the governor who said them. Yes politicians borrow lines all the time. So why didnt anyone even point out that it demonstrates normal everyday politics, which he is supposedly running against? Nobody on any tv show full of pundits for and against him even caught that little tidbit. He's more teflon than ole Bill ever was, lol.

I really hope the debate tomorrow and next week sheds some light on what he plans to do. Politics as usual so far isn't demonstrative of change.. we need more information from him and I hope we get it. |
I think Obama's platform is very similar to Clinton's. His positions are outlined on his site. It seems to me he has played it smart on the campaign trail. Why delve deeply into the issues when rhetoric and charm will get more support. Last night's speech was more about specifics than usual for him. He's for UHC, ending the war in Iraq but maintaining it in Afghan, amnesty for immigrants, and so forth. Can he do it? Would it make the country better or worse? Who knows, but it'll mostly be more of the same. A President can't radically shake up Washingon like Obama hopes.
