Obama wouldn't stand a chance against this guy.




This guy has lots of great rhetoric but has proposed nothing of
substance.

Isn't that the definition of a politician?

Huh? I suppose you could say "says things they don't mean" but they
usually make the statement so ambiguous they have an out.
Did you hear Jon Stewart the other night comparing Obama's war speech
to Bush's?
Basically "new boss, same as the old boss"
Stewart is probably the closest thing we have to a fair and balanced
news reporter these days and it is supposed to be a comedy show.


I'm not happy with the escalation in Afg.

Wasn't Afg a brand of film?
Seem to remember that.
