Barack Obama a great orator….

…but a cardboard cutout candidate…
Maryanne Patlak carries a lifesize cardboard cutout of Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama (D-Ill.) outside of a Miami Beach polling station on Tuesday. The Democratic National Committee pledged not to seat the state’s delegates at the party’s national convention in Denver this summer after Florida resisted warnings not to move its presidential primary into January.

…an empty vessel, devoid of substance, and the seasoning that comes from experience. 2 years in the Senate…a third year spent mostly on the campaign trail for the highest office in the land…how can so many become so enamored with “the Anointed One”, as though they were witnessing the Coming of The Rapture?
A friend of mine, who is a campaign volunteer, wrote me, after I sent her the “Yes I Can” video link, saying she cried, and ended the e-mail with “I believe!”
That’s what we’re facing in November, folks.
Go Hillary (Primary-ily speaking, of course.)!

Obama the Candy-man
A former fetus, the “wordsmith from nantucket” was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1968. Adopted at birth, wordsmith grew up a military brat. He achieved his B.A. in English from the University of California, Los Angeles (graduating in the top 97% of his class), where he also competed rings for the UCLA mens gymnastics team. The events of 9/11 woke him from his political slumber and malaise. Currently a personal trainer and gymnastics coach.
The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.
This kind of goes along with what Chris is talking about in that other thread. It’s amazing how the general populace has no idea, no clue about what is going on around them. Just like that video of that group of Obama supporters not being able to name one accomplishment of the man, but hey, lets still vote for the man with no experience. Why?
Because he’s the candyman.
