I've just always been inspired by his power as a public speaker. He uses very powerful words and phrases and is direct in his approach. He speaks both to and from the heart. It's that "get up and get it" desire for change that's glued me to my art table for the last 8 months, and it does a lot for other people I'm sure as well. Politics and philosophy are one in the same, as is law and ethics, and once one is changed so is the other. I think ultimately that will shine through in his agenda, and he can't really be blamed for the economic crisis. Bush has very much been the benefactor of "out of sight, out of mind", and he was messing up for 8 years.
Well, he uses powerful words that someone ELSE wrote for him (tele-prompter anyone?). Now I know that just about every other president since the beginning of the country had a "speech-writer", but all the
eloquence Obama supposedly has is simply over-rated. He speaks, I flinch and wonder what other freedom he'll take today.
As for this politics and philosophy... remember that Obama said that he is very left, but will "lead from the center". So much for that, huh? I've always gone by the old adages, "A tiger... is a tiger... is a tiger" or " If it acts like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck - its a DUCK!" (even if it PROMISES to lead from the middle). Such was my reason for opposing him in the first place.
Ya'll continue to "blame Bush". Sooooo, when the stimulus bill passed and Obama promised doing so would keep unemployment rates down (went from 6% to almost 10% last I checked)... that must've been Bush's fault too.
SUBSTANCE, not words is what's important. "The road to hell is lined with good intentions."
Now, don't get me wrong. I've stated before and will do so again. BUSH did really tick me off as well. And I am daily reminded of his failures each time I see and hear the name OBAMA. Perhaps, better yet, HOPEFULLY after the 2012 election, you'll be in the same place and feel just as crappy as I do now.
As for the comparisons to Hitler.... BUT it is completely acceptable for those on the LEFT to say the same things about BUSH and compare GW to Hitler. LOL. How hypocritical.
