Without a doubt Obama is a terrific orator. Put a microphone in front of him and he's a natural. But really, if you can detach yourself from the hype created by the left wing media, what exactly has he said? Listening to him is like watching an episode of Sienfeld...the show about nothing.
I for one am not swayed by his eloquent words, or by the media hype surrounding him. Talk is cheap, and by their very nature politicians will say anything and everyting that helps them get elected...and if you think Obama is any different you are kidding yourself.
You will never truly guage who a man is, or what he stands for by listening to his speeches. The only way you are going to do that is by looking at those he calls his friends, advisors, and allies. It's been stated numerous times to look at his track record to see who he is and what he stands for, and while that is a perfectly logical statement to make, perhaps some of you should take your own advice and look at the track record of the company he keeps.
Jeremiah Wright, Michael Phleger, Otis Moss III, William Ayres, Mazen Asbahi, and Tony Rezko. If you think that associating with these types of extremists [which is probably why Obama is trying so hard to distance himself from them], in some cases for decades, has not influenced Obama and helped to shape who he is today, again you are kidding yourself.
I think if it's change you want then Obama just might be your man. If a radically left wing, socialist America is what you're looking for.
