Default And no, it isn't maudlin...

Hmmm...I asked every Obama supporter I know, and I know a fair amount,
to give me a pitch, and to a person, including those here on ROFF, I got
nothing but parroting of Obama's claims. No numbers, no facts, nothing.
And any criticism or even questioning of The Cult of St. Obama is met
with charges of partisanship, ignorance or worse. A fair amount of
folks here are involved in the sciences, and I can't imagine any would
accept such, well, purely subjective anecdotally-generated opinion that
must be accepted without question as evidence of anything.


um.....I neither gave you the standard line, nor did I accuse of
partisanship, nor ignorance. My argument was simple, that Obama has by far
the best chance of healing
a divided nation, and providing leadership away from 'trickle down'
economics. Further, McCain seems to have issues with temperment and rash
decisions, making the choice of Obama far easier. Now, that you don't accept
my premise is fine by me, but don't say you've heard nothing but a party
line.
BTW, to return to the matter of leadership: a Leader is someone capable of
motivating others to work for his general direction. What candidate since
Reagan has had such qualities at the levels Obama offers?

Hope and change, my ass,

Hope and change are at your doorstep...just watch.
