What many people and the news media are not covering, bias, I suppose. But Obama is best known from what he has written, not from any factual information about what he represented in College, who his friends were then or even what his core values are. He actually reserves the right to keep his core values to himself.

What the far left of the Democratic Party is pushing is not in the best interest of the general population, but rather an internet driven snow job that is pulling the wool over many eyes. However the silent majority in this country is over fifty and been through too many ruff times to believe the media coverage and internet spoofing.

Roger,
Come on man…. so he’s being vague about “change”…. like running for President or any political office has anything to do with being specific…. or as if any other politician running is going to be specific about issues either… Obama is up and Romney is down for the same reason… how they come off when you see them speak…. Romney comes off like a plastic corporate exec and Romney comes off like a cool regular guy period… that’s it in a nutshell…

Hillary comes off plastic and nauseating most of the time as well….
McCain comes off as a straight shooter for the most part…

Will issues carry the day at the end… its a combination of both…

I’m not voting for Obama and prefer he wasn’t the next President… but at the end of the day this saying applies -
“Don’t hate the player hate the game”

There is a strong smell of “manure” when a candidate promotes himself/herself as a candidate of change without describing what changes they are talking about. It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to understand that Obama wants to change the White House incumbent and perhaps the complexion of Congress. But, other than that, what does he want to change, why does he want to change it, and how does he expect to make the changes. It seems to me that he is a lot of talk and no action. Remember that his major accomplishment in Illinois was to promote a bill to require TV records of police interrogations. Period! His major accomplishment in the US Senate has been his Presidential candidacy! Period!

Instead of “Change”, his motto could just as well be “Apply directly to the forehead”!

To zafal
What are you talking about?

“This Obama that you spit on
as he tries to change our world
is immune to your consultations.
He is quite aware of what he’s going to do.”

Who is spitting on Obama?
What do you mean by “immune to your consultations”?

Comments like this feed the speculation that Barack Hussein Obama is a “sleeper” Muslim fanatic!

Maybe he’s talking about this ‘change’.

Unspecified “change” out of a liberal’s lips equals:

more taxes
more governmennt control
anti-business policies
open borders
less security (get out of Iraq at all costs)
more pandering to special interest groups
protectionism (we rubes should only buy American anyway, right?)

Not that he’d be successful, but there’s the rising star’s idea of change. I actually prefer Hillary, and I hope that David Thomson is wrong in his prediction. I think Obama could actually end up making Jimmy Carter look good.

Of course, change for change’s sake is a non-starter. But it feels good in the primaries and Clinton and Edwards look like toast simply because they’re not “new enough.”

Mark it: if this presidential race comes down — in broad terms — to “change” vs. “status quo” (represented by anyone reasonable on the GOP side) I humbly predict the latter will run the table.

Obama is just everyone’s darling right now because he’s perceived as the furthest from The Awful Present (you know, the long dark nightmare of the BusHitler Totalitarian State) without being too radical — thus the mushy message. When it comes time to actually say how and why he’ll be crushed like a bug.

“Change you can believe in”

A campaign slogan with a dangling preposition.
