I need substance Senator Obama. Give me that and you might get my primary vote. Until then it goes to Hillary or Edwards.

1. What substance are you looking for? What specifically do you

need to know from Obama that you can't Google or find on his website or Senate record? I don't understand this meme.

[SIMPLYB1980]

3. I would like to know a lot of things.

I will admit that I know very little about his policies as he never talks about them. I read his book, not much their either. I've looked at his voting record, he votes present a lot on controversial issues, so no help their. Perhaps you can give me a link to his platform because I can't find it.

[TwilightGardener]

10. He has everything on his website--very thorough.

[SIMPLYB1980]

12. Which I have to give my personal information to, before I can enter.

[TwilightGardener]

13. He's crafty, that Obama!

18. Which web site are you visiting? You don't have to donate or

give info to enter the site, just hit the button at the bottom left!

2. It's Obama.

Just a friendly reminder from a Clinton supporter who
respects and appreciates Senator Obama and will work to
elect him if he gets the nomination.

[SIMPLYB1980]

5. Thanks.

4. You're saying Obama has no substance? Good grief.

[SIMPLYB1980]

7. Yep.

6. How delusional.

A tough, professional operation, canny fighting back against attacks, and a strong message and record, is hardly wishful thinking.

He won decisively last night. And not through "magic".

[SIMPLYB1980]

8. Really Cali.

I know you have declared your support for Obama. I have also not Insulted anyone. I know you to be a level headed person on here. I have found no reason to trust Obama yet, but I will support him if he gets the nomination. I truly do want to know more about him. If it takes a little flame war to get the info I need to make a informed decision so be it.

[cali]

9. If you genuinely wanted to know more about him

you most certainly would not have deemed him Tinkerbell. That insults not only Obama, but his supporters.

[SIMPLYB1980]

11. Actually I though it was appropriate. Given that it was the

title of an article I was linking to. Did you look at the link. It is something that concerns me with Obama. I see all the band wagoners, rallying behind him like he is the answer, but I hear very little from him, if not nothing at all, on the actual actions he would take to fix our problems. I do hear that from Hillary and Edwards. I know I'm not supposed to compare a Democratic nominee to being like Bush, but I can't help that nagging voice in the back of my head, could you help with some links to shut him up, because I have searched and came up with nothing.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. Well For One Thing

His professional record is one of success, academcic excellence, and community activism. So, comparing him to Bush is already a non-starter, since all those things are the opposite of Silverspoon.

[SIMPLYB1980]

15. Thats fine.

What will he do? Actions he will take. What Positions he will support. Other than a Hope and a Prayer. Not trying to be an ass, but I don not know.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Then Look at The Specifics On His Website

There are clear policy proposals with a reasonable level of detail for this point in the race.

16. It also reflects badly on the author of the opening post.

[SIMPLYB1980]

17. Can you tell me or give me a link to Obamas Platform.

[hedgehog]

19. Have at it

[SIMPLYB1980]

20. Thank you Hedgehog.

[Buzz Clik]

22. Yeah -- a shocking development. A Presidential candidate has a website.

And you didn't know that until Hedgehog gave you the link.

:eyes:

[SIMPLYB1980]

24. Actually I just don't want to give any canidate my name and email address.

Hedgehog got me by that.;-) You haven't been much a help but thanks for the laugh.:hi:

[Buzz Clik]

25. Yeah. You don't have to give anything, boze. You just click on the "continue" link.

Any more at home like you?

[SIMPLYB1980]

26. This is what I was given when linked from google.

When I googled Barack Obama I got this.

Which would had made it easier.

And thank you for your comments.

[SIMPLYB1980]

23. A lot of good stuff their easing my fears a bit.

Why doesn't he talk about his platform more? I've read a lot about Hillary and Edwards around hear maybe it is just our local newspapers follow thiem closer. Hillary is Hillary and Edwards is from around hear. I do think that at some point you have to start giving more than slogans. Hopefully the next debates will get much more to the point. Sorry if ya'll think I was truly trying to just be an asshole. I've just been looking for this info for a while, and I don't like giving out my email and name to any canidate. Or anyone on the internet for that matter.
