And the recurring theme that I'm hearing is the sense of unknowns surrounding Obama. I was wondering what Republicans were going to talk about after the election and I guess this is it.

How do you measure how "known about" a President actually is? I've heard the statement "Obama is the least known about President in the history of the US." and I'm just not sure how someone can come up with that statistic. What is it based on? A point system somewhere? I don't know.

The radios stations here are declaring that we know so little about him that its creepy. That's it was creepy that there was no one else on stage except him during his acceptance speech, that he seems to be a one man show, they even used the word "manipulative" when explaining his sense of discreteness.

I just don't see it. I don't know everything about Obama, much like I don't know everything about Mccain or Palin or even Biden. I'm just sure that if I had questions about Obama's history, or or about Obama's stance regarding political issues, that I could find answers to them. Is that naive?

It doesn't matter what anyone says, in January we'll find out what he really is.

None of the stuff he says means crap, he can basically do whatever he wants when he gets in office. His history shows him to be a serious liberal but during the campaign he was talking about being centrist. Who knows what he's gonna do.

Ive heard he just seems to be on whatever side helps him most at the time. I don't have sources on this or even remember where it came from so don't kill me.

Fear mongering and cynicism is soooo yesterday. Totally out of style. Now is the time for confidence, motivation, and responsibility.

It's made-up, conservative radio is generally anti-intellectual radio.

Right but now he's not running for something. So its not a matter of what does and doesn't help him. Now he's got his agenda and that's going to be what pushes him to get things done.

There's a reason the term FUD exists - Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. They don't want listeners actually getting excited about him, they want them suspicious and skeptical.

Not for a conservative. Remember, they don't want anything to change.

There is listening to the radio and listening to right wing radio. Totally different entities.

As I write this, I am listening to the gas bag himself, Rush, who is now blaming republican Bloomberg for having to cut services and raise taxes. Which is somehow Obama's fault as we prepare for a lack of GWB paradise.

I forgot to listen yesterday for my marching orders, but Rush seemingly pissed off Ohio by advocating all manners of plagues to descend on Ohio because it went blue.

So will ratings for reactionaries like Rush go up or down as they transition from Bush cheerleaders to perpetual whiners?

It'll go up. Rush's format is to complain as much as possible, which should have been hard when it's the people you support are the ones screwing things up, but he somehow managed.

With Dem's in control of Congress and the Presidency, he'll really round into form. He has real targets now.

Could go either way. As the nation goes left, fewer people have any interest in the radical right. Under FDR, Laissez-faire advocates' were less in demand.

Why does my point have to be underlying? I thought it was clear. I was hoping to get more information on weather or not there is any merit to the statements regarding the unkowns of Obama.

Yeah. Why do bother waking up in the morning? You could have had a hay day with my topic and listed many things we don't know about Obama but instead you completely avoided my topic altogether. You had an open door and instead you slammed it in your face. You are retarded.

I think you are just plain wrong. I think we don't know anything about Obama because he saw to it that we don't. He is clearly so cleaver that he can be only one person. There is no doubt whatsoever he's the Anti-Christ. He's not a party, he's not a movement, he's a religion. Doom, you can smell doom in the air.

Ok. So. Enlighten me. What are some things that we don't know about him that we should know about. Help me understand why some gave him the title of "Least Known About President in the History of the US." Give me things that are imperative that the American People are well aware of that we aren't sure of now. I think I've read into enough about the people he's been associated with and I have my own stance on that. But the media are pushing the fact that there are other things we aren't sure about and I'd love to know them. Anyone?

Who gave him that title? It might be warranted, but it might just be another Anti-Democrat/Liberal talking point.

I've heard it from different media sources and I'll spend the next few minutes looking for links to those sources. Do you believe it to be true? Or at least do you believe that there really are things that we don't know about him that we should know about?

Hint. Most of the people in this thread are being sarcastic. They're pointing out the idiocy of saying that he's not known.

Right. I can see that. But most of the time if people are going to make radical statements they at least have a hint of information to back it up. Something. Anything.
