Hi...And you've misunderstood George Bush's problem. His primary problem was not "pointing a finger." It was ignoring and excluding anyone who didn't agree with him, and either rushing to judgment or misleading those who did agree with him.<BR/><BR/>I actually want a president who will stand up to the real troublemakers both at home and abroad. Standing up to some of those who are your own corporate donors seems to me a profile in courage. Obama talks tough about politicians (which is safe and easy and popular), but I don't see him dropping the hammer on any corporate wrong-doers like Edwards has the insurance companies that wait until someone is dead to say they'll cover a life-saving procedure.<BR/><BR/>And unless you know Obama's heart as well as Obama himself, anonymous, it is a leap of faith to describe him as "incredibly sincere." I'm even more critical of politicans than Obama is at this point: no politician gets to the halls of superpower by being "incredibly sincere." If s/he does, then sincerity in incidental. But you desire to see him as sincere, obviously, and you are entitled to your opinion; however, your entitlement does not make your opinion fact.S-townMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948307051485318061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-79676044726913066392008-01-05T19:51:00.000-06:002008-01-05T19:51:00.000-06:00You seem to misunderstand Senator Obama's message....You seem to misunderstand Senator Obama's message. His value proposition for the White House is to remove barriers to finding real solutions. He's not going to point a finger at a corporate individual and declare them America's problem. George Bush did that on an international level and look where it got us.<BR/><BR/>Obama's value is also that he is incredibly sincere in his desire to make this effort. Edwards doesn't come close to representing what his words describe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
