I think he is a politician, I think the Dems picked him because they want 
someone with little or no
juice that will do what the Dems in power say (Pelosi, Reid, others). There 
were plenty of strong Black candidates if that is what they wanted, (ford in 
Tenn. et al.) but they would probably not take orders. My living in Illinois 
and owning our farm there leads me to distrust anyone created by the Chicago 
Machine. I do not think he believes the rhetoric, but he will say what is 
necessary to get elected, as most politicians. Obama has no leadership 
experience. He has never created a job, hired or fired people. He was even 
unable to make up his mind on important issues and voted present how many 
times??? 140, 150?? We are supposed to trust someone with the entire nation, 
our military, our budget, our lives when he is that indecisive?? Some say he 
voted present to protect his image for future elections (president) so he 
could not be pinned down. That is even worse. Hard working people voted for 
this guy. His job was to represent them and put in a vote on their behalf. By 
voting "Present" he was taking their money and not doing his job. Do you 
think if I am just present at work, I will still get a paycheck??? Not for 
long. As an independant, I just don't buy the hype about this particular guy. 
I WOULD vote for Ford I think, There are a bunch of Dems and Rep.s I would 
feel good voting for, but Obama?? What substance is there to him? I was also 
looking forward to an election where both candidates followed the election 
guidelines, took the public funds and ran an apples to apples campaign. Obama 
broke his pledge and is taking money from everywhere, legal or not. I just 
don't see anything but a flashy speaker when I watch him, and as a speech and 
debater from way back, I know this skill is just the ability to lie with a 
straight face and be believable. He is good, really good when it comes to 
speaking.

That is comfortingly simplistic. I see Obama as far more insightful  
than that.
