I'm not even American but i would take any other candidate over Obama if i was, this guy doesn't have a fucking clue what so ever, he speaks about "change" while others speak about actions, present actual plans, Obama is all talk, he's got enough catch phrases but does ANYONE have an idea regarding what he will actually do? Has he even said anything concrete about the budget, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan or has he just hinted that he would want to do something but maybe not and that he would allow an increase in troops at the same time that there was a reduction (yeah i know, but he actually said that).
Actually, every single one of his recent speeches has included VERY detailed plans for several aspects of his administration... so you really shouldn't listen to the hype. I challenge you to find his most recent speech on youtube, listen to it
in its entirety, and then come back and tell me that you still think he has no detailed plans.
Better yet, go to his
Home Page and click anywhere on his "Issues" tab -- you will find detailed plans and initiatives covering the most important and pressing issues of today.
You will need to go beyond the news soundbites, op-ed pieces, and Clinton commercials, to see that he's both inspirational AND well prepared... please.
That said, I'm an independent who tends to vote Republican more often than not -- I consider myself to be "fiscally conservative, socially liberal"... however, in this election, I believe this country needs an eloquent and inspirational leader who can do some repair work to our current international relations mess... so, as of now, Barrack is the one for me.
