And I do find it hilarious that when any news channel talks to people outside of Obama rallies, they are all psyched up but when asked, none of them can tell reporters why they support him or any of this accomplishments. They must really just like the words "change" and "hope" a lot.
He is very well spoken and does a good job of getting people excited, but it takes waaaaay more than that to run a country. But that's just IMHO. If you think differently, rock on with your bad self  |
He has about as much experience as Abe Lincoln. He's been a community organizer, a civil rights lawyer, a state legislator and a US Senator. He's not 23 and fresh out of college.
I know which one of his supporters you're referring to, but if you watched the debate he laid out his accomplishments, you can see them on public websites, and see this site:
http://www.usaspending.gov/. Obama was one of the two major sponsors of the legislation to create a public, searchable database of where our money goes. If you don't know his accomplishments it's because you haven't listened for them.
And finally, I don't think anyone's voting because they think that "getting people excited" is enough to run the country, but that i
n addition to his experience and skills he has the ability to excite people and inspire them.
