Obama Makes Me Go Hmmm . . .

Obama makes me go hmmm . . . and this is not in a good way. It is not to say I don't like him; I do. The fact of the matter is that I just don't believe that now should be his time. There is no doubt he is a great speaker and he has great visions, but those visions are very broad and I do not think the issue of consequence has been appropriately examined by many.

He is a very clever guy by creating an internet platform for his campaign. He has worked earnestly to capture the young people's vote and has been effective. I think this is great that he has utilized the internet to get his message out, however, once again, when you hear him speak and you hear him say this is the way it should be, you can automatically say of course but the question of how you get from here to there is not always well defined. When you ask these questions and find the answers, you may look a little bit differently at Obama.

There are 2 issues the American people really need to look at right now and that is our foreign policy and military and also alternative energy. The 2 candidates greatly differ in their stance. Don't be satisfied with a broad explanation from Obama but research it. When you try to research McCain's stance on these issues, it is a little more difficult because his camp is finding suppression in the media. I heard this morning on the news that one popular newspaper published an article by Obama last week and refuses to publish for McCain this week.

I am also aware that Obama is receiving more media coverage than McCain all around, so if you want to find out how each candidate plans to get from here to there and what the consequences of those actions would be if successful, you will need to do a little more digging I think to learn about McCain.

Overall, don't judge a book by its cover. Right now Obama definitely has the better-looking book cover, but take the time to read it through; you may just decide that the prettiest book isn't always the best.
