A Call for Anything but Change!!

As I sat and observed yet another one of Senator Barack Obama’s signature orations filled with among many things a lack of all things tangible, I couldn’t help but think of how is message of “hope” built upon “change” with an eye to the “future” was filled with nothing more than graceful deception backed by uninformative passion. Yes, the junior Senator from Illinois is a brilliant speaker, but what will become of him and his grandiose rhetoric when delicate words must actually lead to substantive action?

As we have witnessed throughout Americas shared political history, individuals of all creeds, when confronted with the daunting task of personal political inclusion, have had a tendency to favor those whose “politics” and/or “verbal” dogma, is perceived as being less threatening and more opportunistic. While the art of political salesmanship can not be denied, one thing is certain, this country in being lead by its next Commander in Chief is indeed in need of substantive and rather somber “change”. And substantive “change” as we all know is not simply brought about by the vocalizing tactics of mystifying Executors through the channels of passionate vocal deliverance, but rather through a system of already entrenched and recognizable precepts, that when called upon by its harbinger, exhibit sound fundamental action.

It is this call and demand for action at the expense of passionate vernacular that has lead me to stray even further away from an Obama candidacy. Not only do I question his ability to bring about future levels of “change”, but I also fear what this relatively unknown figure with minuscule experience at the federal level might look to “change” if granted the ability to do so.

Until Americans of all political affiliation begin to enforce the need for experienced action over heightened audio permeation, our political future will continue to be dominated and ultimately lead by advocates of anything but relative substance. And that my friends is the key component of Obamian politics.

I agree 100% Obama is all show. But, then again, maybe he learned from Howard Dean what not to do: Yeeaagh!!!

His only valid standing as a candidate is that he is running against the Supreme Soviet, Mrs. William Jefferson Clinton.

Hey- Enjoyed reading everything so far. The world of politics is different everywhere you go and I think you'd enjoy the chatter going on around Philly.

Hope all is well...
