Reading for meaning rather than slogan, cliches and sound bites is quite important. Reading should involve thinking. < Your prior post did not come across that way > Usually, people read things with ready made pigeon holes and prejudicial stereotypes, looking for a few key words so they can pop the person into a category without further ado. They have a set of operating concepts and they stick with them come Hell or high water [Hell is often the result] It's funny how Obama says a few fine-sounding meaningless cliches and the crowd roars with approval like hysterics at a Nuremberg rally. "Change" is good apparently. Maybe I missed the part which says precisely, in detail WHAT changes. I note that it was long after the invasion of Iraq and the WMDs were not found that King George II was re-elected. That wasn't an accident: < Gung Ho ? More like... OK with it if there are WMDs That was the clincher... without it.. gung and ho would not have met..> The Republicans barely lost control to Nancy Pelosi and co. Bush was running at 90% approval - that's quite gung ho in my book. Mqurice
