You're talking about the Daily Kos public, Elroy, not the general public. The kind that never felt positive about the US anyway, because the Left only teaches what's wrong with America, and the kind that has convinced themselves that 9/11 was a fluke or didn't matter, that the rest is 'fear-mongering' invented for the sake of Halliburton. Obama will CHANGE all that by sitting down and meeting with Ahmedinijad and he will bring CHANGE. Sure Adhmedinijad just called Israel a "filthy bacteria" and the head of the Revolutionary Guards called it a "cancer that will soon disappear" but don't pay any mind, words don't matter...oops they do, but only when Obama says them. In that way of his.
It's an awfully thin schtick, played by a very slight figure. I mean, who the hell is Barack Obama and what the hell has he ever accomplished? He got elected to the Senate two years ago. Then he did nothing whatsoever except give some good speeches.
You think this act has legs? You think it won't get old and that McCain, who has a life story with some actual accomplishments in it, won't find any way to attack him?
The greatest danger for Obama is that he is running a pure feel-good, project-your-wishes-here campaign, and campaigns that run on feelings without any substance are prone to pop as fast as they rose. Does the name Howard Dean ring a bell? |
