If they only talk about the change rhetoric, yes.
Because Obama isn't the messiah and putting every egg in one basket based on rhetoric is dumb. Change should be on concerned-people's agenda whether Obama becomes president or not. If he doesn't win or if his presidency doesn't pan out the way his worshippers expected, concerned-people need to be able to further the change agenda rather than lose their minds because their messiah isn't a messiah.. |
But I don't think anyone thinks Obama
is the messiah. And his speeches contain both rhetoric
and policy. I disagree that many of his supporters are just going along for a ride on the change-mobile.
I saw an entertaining video on youtube that was by a "skeptic" who pokes at political campaigns and he went up to a college age kid asking him questions about Obama at an Obama event (outside in line I think). He was clearly expecting the kid to know nothing, as soon as the kid made it clear he knew the answer he asked another question, but the kid answers every question with a lot of thought and knowledge and the guy's tone turns out to be pleasantly surprised and impressed. Since it's the internet it could have been a setup, but it didn't look like it.
I believe in the message of hope, but I'm also listening to the whole message and that's why I support Obama the way I do now.
