Barack Obama is not an Operations Officer - Admittedly

But what Barack Obama will say about himself is that he is a motivational speaker!

During tonights democratic debate in Nevada, the candidates were asked; "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" Obama was specifically asked to comment on a comment he made about himself not being an operations officer. Obama reaffirmed this statement and noted that a president's job is not to oversee operations... it is to appoint the overseers of operations... but provide America with a vision - inspire a vision, talk about the vision, talk about the American Dream...

His idealistic chatter was so void of those tangible rocks of foundation that it failed to stay in place for very long... if at all. The "hope" his talk was inspiring was as fleeting as a message written written in the sand at the shore of a beach - gone just as soon as the next wave came crashing gently over it. The wave would be reality. The reality would be the grim look at the crumbs that remain in the plate that was called the American Pie. The reality would be the teeny size of my bank account, the astronomical cost of a new home, and the formidable cost of investing in my future - which I will need another degree for....

Obama - PLEASE - give me something to grab onto. Hope is always high when my pockets are full.

Obama continues to point out the "why" things are as bad as they are; wow he sounds dumb. Every "why" is because of a misguided "vision" a misguided "American Dream" - and the answer will be to instill a new sense of accountability, a new sense of hope a new sense of... huh?

Whatever, sounds awesome - I completely agree! And thank you, by the way, for pointing out the literary themes in the history we just created/are in the process of creating.

Now WHAT THE F*$% DO YOU PLAN TO DO ABOUT IT? THINGS!!! PLANS!!! NOT HOPES - NOT DREAMS - NOT INSTILLING THEM - TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME - WHAT IS YOUR PLAN??????????????????

Please note - his "uh, um" factor when asked specifics on these plans is extremely high.... then he draws us back to the broader shifts and themes and... whatever...

If I needed a life coach, I would get one!!

grrr

Hillary in 2008! Shit, Edwards and/or McCain too - just not Obama! He isn't even clear on the job description!!

By the way, I was very pro-Obama a year ago - before I started to listen to these guys speak. I had that anti-Hillary sentiment as well. I think the sensationalism of having a black President truly guided me when I was for Obama as president. When it comes down to it this guy just isn't qualified.... or at least the way he talks doesn't seem like someone who has a plan.... you know, the ladder to the dream... that dream we are all unifying and agreeing upon... according to Obama.
