I gotta say I was becoming a fan of Obama's and everything was starting to look like he was the guy until I began to really listen to the rhetoric of all the candidates. When the Rev. Wright thing started happening, it made me remember what his wife said about being the first time she was proud to be an American and then I put the pieces together and realized, they are not proud of America at all. Now I'm beginning to think he's just in it because he thinks he can win. So here are my reasons for being on the fence and if someone can help me out with these problems, I'll thank them for it. 1. Obama said unless he wins, he'll never do this again. Hmmm, that's a bit self-defeatist and arrogant. I took that to mean, he either has to win or he's does want to play anymore. In other words, I see it as a person not necessarily doing this for the People but more so for himself. 2. Who really started the Negative Campaigning? When they were in Iowa, I believe it was Obama and John Edwards that started banging on Clinton long before she started hitting back. When Hillary Clinton was in the lead, they ganged up on her and she tried to keep on point with her message. Noe we're long past Iowa and everything Clinton does, people accuse her of negative campaigning. 3. The Rev. Wright's ideas are a huge part of Obama's life Obama has made this Rev. like a member of his family. He stood on TV and told everyone he can't turn his back on the Rev. and yet it was this very guy that started the trouble in the beginning. I think the American people are pretty dumb at times, especially when it comes to politics. 4. Man without a plan In th beginning, it was apparent Obama didn't really have any serious plans for America as President until he got together with Advisors who drafted out things for him to say and once again, the American people are buying it like as if these were his ideas. All they seem to be are the ideas that Clinton has, modified slightly. 5. Talks like Dr. Martin King I'm starting to see that Obama is really just a guy who sounds like Martin Luther King and the speeches and ideas are coming from other people because when he's on TV without a script, he sure doesn't sound the same way he doesn't when he's standing in front of a teleprompter. Also, he stutters alot and seems unsure of himself when talking off the fly. I'm beginning to think, he's somewhat of a carbon copy of George Bush who is being made by Handlers. |
