Obama's Substance

I read an article by David Limbaugh about Obama's flowery speech. He is not empty headed and given to lofty oratory inspiring hope by platitudes. According to Limbaugh, "His generalities-laden, silver-tongued optimism conceals a hard-core leftist blueprint for this country that would make Dennis Kucinich look like Milton Friedman." Obama's speech reveals a lack of realism. His is the false hope that his plans are going to be easy. That change will automatically happen once he is sworn in. In this he is either believing his own rhetoric or deceptive. He will have to deal with the public who don't want retreat from Iraq just as we on the cusp of winning because of the long-term effects a surrender will have on terrorist groups who desire our destruction. What will he do if the US attacked again? Will he resort to negotiations or action? Will the public support socialized health care once our taxes are raised to the point of not having any discretionary income? And what will the people do with more entitlement programs? And what about dealing with the Republicans in Congress? Obama is the most liberal member of the Senate. I've found that liberals tend to be about feeling good while conservatives tend to consider the long-term consequences of such feel-good programs. An Obama presidency will give the people less freedom as Big Brother tells us what to buy and how to live.
