The Obama Cult: Not for Everyone

Submitted by David Abramson, Feb 21, 2008 18:34

First off, change is a pervasive fact of everything -- change happens. Secondly, if Obama's implied meaning is, "it is the policies I will put in place that you can trust," my question is why should we trust them? Where is a shred of evidence of Obama's trustworthiness. What does he stand for? How should we know that we can trust Obama? Because he simply says we should? Obama's talk is stunningly empty, and this nonsense would be hilarious (Genet's, The Balcony comes to mind) were it not that our country is in such a critical state. I pray that the public will come to its senses before we put this hollow man into office. I'm a liberal, so I hope I'm not forced to vote for McCain. Good luck to us all.
