Not at all: all that Obama has is "image" - no "Substance" at all.


I am perhaps a little wary of campaigns which heavily rely on image. The
last one here in England was the Labour campaign of 1997, after which
Tony Blair became Prime Minister. These days, that Labour adminstration
is not viewed with a lot of respect, because it spent a lot of time
talking convincely, but little time achieving anything. I just have a
fear that Obama could turn into an American version of that.


Your fear is well grounded and shared by many, including ME!

It's possible, and even those of us who are impressed by him recognize that
possibility. But, to me, he sounds like he has the right stuff to be
president at this time. There's a lot more going on there than his image.
There's also one of the best-managed campaigns in recent history, and a
sense you get from his associates, former students, and other law professors
that he has an excellent approach to decision-making. He certainly turned
back one of the biggest juggernauts in the campaign -- and Democrats, unlike
Republicans, don't resent Hillary Clinton.

But there isn't a lot of experience to support it. You have to be willing to
take some risk to support him.

Perception is all that counts in the "Good 'ol USA". He has changed his
story so many times, says what's convenient/expedient at the time/place he's
at.

McCain is another rich guy who has no concept of a wage earner life.

Not sure about the first two. I admire McCain's determination, but I
have noticed the ill tempered bit a couple of times recently. Obama
doesn't seem to do that. He does cold, but not ill tempered. I was a bit
disappointed that Giuliani's campaign didn't succeed. He managed to be
irritable and likable at the same time.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politic...f_Barack_Obama

"As a state legislator in Illinois, Obama supported banning the sale
or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic firearms, increasing state
restrictions on the purchase and possession of firearms"

"He supported a "ban" on the sale and possession of handguns on
a political questionnaire."

"In 1999, he urged for prohibiting the operation of any gun store
within five miles of a school or park, which according to gun-rights
advocates would eliminate gun stores from most of the inhabited
portion of the United States."

"He sponsored a bill in 2000 limiting handgun purchases to one
per month."

"As state senator, he voted against a 2004 measure that allowed
self-defense as an affirmative defense to those charged with
violating
local laws making it otherwise unlawful for such persons to possess
firearms."

"He also voted against allowing persons who had obtained domestic
violence protective orders to carry handguns for their protection."

"While in the US Senate, Obama has supported several gun control
measures, including restricting the purchase of firearms at gun shows
and the reauthorization of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban."

"Obama voted against legislation protecting firearm manufacturers
from certain liability suits, which gun-rights advocates say are
designed
to bankrupt the firearms industry."

"Obama has also stated his opposition to allowing citizens to carry
concealed firearms and supports a national law outlawing the
practice."

From the Wash Post article on that, I quote "Part of the paradox of

his campaign contributors." Other than Wexeler and, possibly,
Barrett, I don't see a consistent problem with anger in the man.

Right. So you can ignore them when they are provided. Like nobody knows
those things about McCain are true. Corrupt, take a look at McCain's
involvement in the Keating 5 business. Stupid, how about when he showed he
didn't know a Shiite from A Sunni and had to have Joe Lieberman correct him
repeatedly. How can anyone ask for proof of McCain's ill temper when he is
known for being hot headed and hot tempered? Not knowing those things about
McCain are true is like not knowing Jenny McCarthy can't act.
