so after mourning Edwards leaving the field..i started looking to Obama , and at his policies..but i could not find much on his policies...other than gobbly gook..there is no there there.

His national security is empty.

these are important things to me as i spent my life as a flight crew for one of the airlines involved in 9/11..it is very important to me.

as i see nothing but bullshit and a paper tiger as far as national security under this administration.

Well i will not vote for an empty suit..i can not vote for Obama..he is an empty suit..he has not answered anything with regard to the policies he will institute..other than he will negotiate with the repigs ..i see nothing but empty rhetoric..how can we as a people fall for this shit again?

how many have to die for empty rhetoric again? when will we grow up as a nation and be responsible?..how can we let another empty suit run our government?

well how is this man going to negotiate with repigs when he couldn't convince Senator Claire McCaskill to vote against giving immunity to the telecoms?..where was his leadership within the senate to convince any of the others to not give immunity to the telecoms?..Hell no one is a bigger cheerleader for Obama than McCaskill and yet she voted to give immunity to the Telecoms..she didn't think they did anything wrong..

so she wiped her ass on our constitution and Obama?? where was his leadership in the Senate?..where was his fight for our constitutional rights?

this says alot to me..

The Obama Mystery

By David Ignatius
Sunday, February 17, 2008; B07



"Why is the press going so easy on Barack Obama?" asks a prominent Democratic Party strategist, echoing a criticism frequently made by the Clinton campaign. It's a fair question, and now that Obama appears to be the front-runner in terms of his delegate count, he deserves a closer look, especially from people like me who have written positively about him.

The reason to look closely now, quite simply, is to avoid buyer's remorse later.

Obama is a phenomenon in American politics -- a candidate who has ignited an enthusiasm among young people that I haven't seen in decades. He promises a nation in which, as his supporters chant, "race doesn't matter." And for a world that is dangerously alienated from American leadership, he offers a new face that could dispel negative assumptions about America -- and in that sense boost the nation's standing and security.

But these are symbolic qualities. What Obama would actually do as president remains a mystery in too many areas. Before he completes what increasingly looks like a march to the Democratic nomination, Obama needs to clarify more clearly what lies behind the beguiling banner marked "change."
