What we don't know about Obama

Here is a good article, at least I thought it was good.

How long will it be before the press starts asking Obama some of the tough questions or are we going to let Obama become the new "emperor with no clothes". I thought we learned our lesson? I know I did.
 
The answers to the tough questions doesn't seem to be the problem for the general public. The real problem is getting the general public to combine all of those answers at the same time in order to formulate the true big picture of what he is trying to do. That rarely happens though especially amongst the cynics. They tend to only take into consideration a couple pieces of the pie at a time which make things look a lot worse than what they really are. Hell, we see it all of the time on this forum. Cynics and Obama haters are constantly picking out bits and pieces here and there blasting them to all hell when the truth is that it is completely worthless to only consider those issues one at a time like that. A partial solution is nothing compared to the entire real solution. It's as different as night and day.

You mean the general public that re-elected Bush? There's no hope for them.... or the hard core that still think he did a good job, but this isn't about Bush any longer.

I agree that to get the best total solution you have to look at the big picture and implement your solutions in the proper order to acheive maximum effect. We still need to know what the plan is with as many specifics as possible so we can make our plans.

No, I don't mean that. I mean most everyone including many avid Obama supporters. People in general, including myself at times, have a hard time combining everything together when it comes to government and this country because it is so massive and complex. That is one reason why we vote for what are deemed professionals (waiting to get grilled for using that word here lol) to represent us.

Yes, we do need the specifics. Obama is working on that too though. He is not pleased with how much secrecy has been going on in Washington and how there are people there who work to try and find any reason they can to NOT tell the media something. Hopefully that works itself out in our favor. Other than that, it boils down to patience.

A lot of people in P&N have this disease or its twin cousin ICS.

If you think objectively for a minute you'll realize a lot of the countries problems will be Bush's fault for a while. How long will that be? When Obama start making decisions not effected by Bush, those will be his. As for Bush's leftovers, example if troops are pulled out of Iraq in 16 months and the conditions go downhill that will be on Obama.

Excellent. Dynamic governance, instead of entrenched ideology, that'll work for me.

I believe Obama has good intentions, but you know what they say about good intentions.

He's going to close down Gitmo, so there's one positive step and I take him at his word he'll do it. So he's off to a good start.

He's been running for President for a year so I assume he has a pretty solid plan in place already, but all the details I see are pretty general. That's why I critic the media for not asking more of the tough questions.

A change for sure, but still no reason not to give the people more specifics.

Usually the first 100 days in office gives the clear cut message in what the new President has in store.

True, but usually we're not on the brink of an economic meltdown either.

He may not have many yet. When a relative few, are faced with mass triage, it takes a bit of time to sort things out and properly prioritize.

LOL!

I learned a long time ago that you can't wait to com,plain about something or they will say "You should have said something sooner, we didn't know, blah, blah."

Obama's been President/president elect for over 2 months now. I know they have a "hundred day" plan. I just don't know many specifics about that plan.

Th3e funny part is I'm not a guy who needs a lot of specifics, but I do need SOME. At least enough to feel I get the gist of the plan and I have never felt that way after listening to Obama.

Read the book Obama the Postmodern Coup, and later if you get the chance, Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biography. These books are very intriguing ones that bring you back for more.

Apparently not or else this thread wouldn't exist. Your logical deduction skills need a lot of polish. You live in more of a fantasy world than the obamite extremists that you hate so much.
