I think you are exactly right shinerbock- in fact every time Obama has gone a bit deeper- such as in his interview on CNBC when he got into the capital gains tax- he revealed an incredibly liberal approach.
Obama's "Hope and Change" attitude is a cover for the fact he has the mentality of an angry liberal during the Reagan Administration. He is NOT a man for our time- and even back then at the height, that kind of liberalism was never given free reign. America gave centrist Bill Clinton a Democrat-controlled Congress for 2 years. They won't do that for Obama- assuming it becomes apparent he might win, and I think he has no chance.
The fact "Hope and Change" is a snow job is what goes a step further and makes Obama a huge hypocrite and the worst politician of all in this race.
McCain can be an incredible speaker. Plus he has substance and gets very specific when he talks on key issues. I really think that in their first debate McCain will get all the undecideds and swing voters he needs for this to be essentially over.
Many times during the Obama-Hillary debates, Obama got flustered when Hillary nailed him on something. Many people, myself included, think Hillary "won" just about all the debates with him in terms of logical argument. But Obama and Hillary largely agree. There was not a whole lot to debate there from a big picture perspective.
Just wait until he gets one on one with McCain. I am going to enjoy watching Obama get his clock cleaned by a man who really does respect America and the intelligence of its citizens.
