After listening to Obama for over a year now, I’m beginning to hear the same stuff with the same cadence and same vacuous content. Like Cotton Candy, his speeches quickly dissolve into a sweet emptiness all the time enticing you to consume too much; in the end it just makes you queezy.
People, I’m convinced, are pretty much the same around this world, they respond to people they respect and it appears that though the world likes Obama, he’s not much respect. They perceive, rightly so, that if they do something unseemly, the worse they can expect is a severe tongue lashing. Most of the bad guys control their local media, hence the tongue lashing has no local effect.
Locally, Obama is loosing the healthcare debate because he doesn’t have the facts, and those he does have have been too often misrepresented. Until this behavior stops and Obama begins leading, I fear we’re in for a bumpy and unpleasant ride.
