Obama's speech

[snaw]

Plus, as I have said, you do need to have some policies. Does anyone know Obama's stance on anything?

Well yeah, here's a couple:

He's against the war in Iraq.

He's for some for of universal 'affordable' health care plan.

How different is that from McCain or Clinton. They have one or two big headliners as well. Reverse the question and ask of the rest of the field and it's not so different.

So what will he do about it?

It's fine for him to say what he will do, how will he pay for it???

About what?

Assuming you're talking about universal health care - actually all three candidates say it's an issue to be tackled, the question equally applies to all of them to some degree.

Nu Liebor.

Is it just me or does anyone else find this kind of thing (and "Tony B Liar") to be rather tedious?

The more I see of her, the more I understand the hatred republicans hold for her.

I agree. Before I saw so much of her on TV I thought "I hope she wins" but now I see how power hungry she is, I hope Obama does. She scares me

Tell me about the relationship you had with your mother...

Has he come out with a single policy on anything yet?

Tony Blair was a good speaker and had the electorate eating out of his hand too, remember.

He doesn't need policies and he doesn't need to detail how he's going to implement them.

Don't forget that he's not running for president yet, he's not speaking to the ordinary american who will elect him to power.

He's speaking to people of the party he wants to represent so they already know what the policies are and they already know how he's going to implement them because the party tells them these things and he's talking to the people who make up the party.

Perhaps I should have said the prospect of her being in power scares me

No - GWB is NOT stupid. He may be dyslexic (probably), and come across that way, but he is pretty smart. Given then environment in which he grew up, that's no surprise really.

I have come to conclusion that he actually is stupid. His neo-cons loved him for that because it allowed them to run the country, and tell him what to do - I don't expect US President to be a PhD or something, but you just can't go lower than Bush Jnr.
