"I find it interesting that obama hasn't yet said anything more than platitudes and other "feel good" phrases in order to attract the crowds, but when it comes down to anything specific, he's void of any substance... it's just a bit scary to think that people buy into the packaging only, but I guess that's just human nature... if obama actually said something of substance, then he would open himself up for close examination under the harsh bright light of political scrutiny, and this is something he simply cannot afford to do... this is despite the obvious fact that close examination and scrutiny is what candidacy is suppose to be all about..." __________________ It is possible to go back and look at GWB's speeches and policy statement in 1999 and 200). You might be surprised in hindsight how similar they are in lack of substance to Obama's current approach. When you are running against "what the other guy did", you can talk about returning to traditional values, avoiding foreign entanglements, fiscal responsiblity, returning honor to the Oval Office...but not be specific. Mr. Bush did that. Obama won't be specific until he has to...he has something to run Against...and that will work well for the democrats until the republicans either abandon Mr. Bush's war or find a way to disengage from his shadow.....
