78. I freely admit to "not getting it" |

I want to, I truly want to...
because he may be our nominee and I will need to support him.
But, phrases like -
"Obama makes people feel empowered to effect change and to become involved in the process"
don't mean anything to me.
I don't need Obama to empower me. And needing Obama to feel empowered, excuse me, sounds exactly like a personality cult. I don't know what he means by "change". I don't know what you mean by "change". I already am involved in the process.
There already is public support for a change in the healthcare system, and, quite frankly, I found Obama's plan to be the weakest of all the candidates.
Maybe I am looking too narrowly, but you should understand that that particular criticism has rarely been ascribed to me. And Obama people need to begin understanding that some of the questions about Obama need to be taken seriously if we have any hope of winning this November.
There are enough people out there who "don't get it" to make a difference in this election.
