I have had this discussion about him on multiple message boards and we all came to the same conclusion.

When you recall all the ~~group hug news conferences~~ debates on the left and all he has done since then he sounds like he is running for the Senate instead of President.

You don’t hear the major policy goals and stuff, it’s mostly tied down to particular legislation he wants to get done.

I was just thinking… Since Obama is for change, and the Earth’s climate is in constant change, so if Obama is elected we don’t have to save the planet anymore since it is normal to have such ‘change’. Whew – Finally someone who gets it.

Evan Thomas’s name doesn’t appear on that quote, at least as far as Cntl F is concerned. How does anyone know he said it? Who is Evan Thomas?

Typical Democratic playbook that swept Carter and Clinton into the White House——-promise EVERYTHING and blame it on Republicans when reality sets in and you can’t deliver.

Hey, I think Evan Thomas has found a new (and accurate) campaign slogan for Barry:

Despite all this, so called patriotic conservatives still can’t figure out how to justify pulling the lever for McCain.

If any of you are taking comfort in the idea that Obama can’t win, remember how close the 2004 election was with the two John ticket. An empty suit and an empty head nearly won the big prize then; Obama may win in 2008. Especially if paired with a solid partner.
Who else thinks that it was the Clintons, not the DNC, which orchestrated McCain’s win? Hillary could have moppped up the floor with him. I’m guessing she’s kind of bitter right now.

These people are not by any means wicked or unjust or venal–some of the guests at the party had performed significant public service in one way or another. Many of them were Democrats who will vote for Obama.”

Dang.

I thought this was Obama describing Gitmo detainees.

Obama knows he isnt going to change Washington and he has no intention of it. But, he also knows if he gets enough sheep to believe his lies, then he’ll be elected. That’s the goal of the game, after all. Obama is a product of corrupt Chicago politics, so he should be perfectly at home in Washington. Not as corrupt as Chicago, maybe, but corrupt nevertheless. He’s a “chicken in every pot” politician, promise the people everything, and deliver nothing (I think Napoleon said that). But he and the socialist democrat majority in Congress will change this nation – into a Marxist utopia. We’re pretty much there now.

C.H.A.N.G.E. Can’t Have A Nitwit Getting Elected

I personally wish everyone would stop using phrases such as "empty suit" and "blank screen" to describe The Obamboozler. To me, it congers up an image of someone/something harmless, even if taking up otherwise useful space. Obama is anything but. And the media are only ushering him into the position of doing irreparable damage to this country. The true disconnect exists, as well articulated in Bernie Goldberg's 2001 book, "Bias," in the media failing to "connect" Obama's past with his present, as well as Obama's present policies/political positions with a socialist future.

Obama reminds me of the Robert Redford movie, ‘The Candidate’, especially at the very end when Redford, victorious, looks at his campaign manager and asks, “What do we do now?” It was all about winning, nothing about what to do once the election was won.

Gee, his Change We Can Believe In proved to be corruption. So naturally, appeal to the JOBS, JOBS, JOBS promise via change that works. Work? Obama offers to lead the chain gang for “free” labor providing Michelle’s children’s playscape. Whatever. Even if Obama were the Sorceror’s Apprentice, he is a most inadequate incompetent substitute.

I watched David Letterman tonight. 2 Bush jokes, 1 McCain joke and 1 Clinton joke. Curiously, no Obama jokes were to be found. I wonder who David Letterman and staff will be voting for this year?

So imagine that you are in College, you've listened to NPR and PBS and checked on DailyKos once in a while. And you go to a party with some bigwigs, and to an Obama rally. And you write in your college newspaper a cri d'coeur, that, you know, maybe Washington will never really be able to live up to your dreams. That is what it's like to be Evan Thomas:

But I am sure that if you took a poll and asked them whether Obama could really change Washington-could really close loopholes on energy companies and raise taxes on the rich, reform the health-care system and significantly scale back the ill effects of global warming, substantially improve public schools or get us out of Iraq anytime soon–the answer would have been no, probably not. These ‘realists’ might even want such changes, or most of them. But they know how Washington works…

At the same time, standing in the press gallery on the floor of that arena in Detroit, I was moved by Obama’s ability to rouse and give hope to so many people who really seem to believe he can achieve the change he talks about. There is a disconnect here, and I don’t see what’s going to change it. Obama is a shrewd and realistic person, as far as I can tell.

Can this country really suffer such fools forever?
