Like it or not, people are more interested in being inspired.
Yeah, but inspired to do….what? Hitler and Stalin were “inspiring” too, weren’t they? If you can tell me where’s the beef in Obama’s “style sandwich,” let me know.
Let’s say Obama does slide in: I suspect his “magic” will quickly dissipate once he’s forced to condescend to us mere mortals and actually start putting specifics on what constitutes “hope” and “change” in his temporal plane of existence. One look at Obama’s political career establishes that the guy has spent most of his political career doing his best to avoid taking a position on anything. All those charming, and “inspiring,” platitudes he’s uttering right now will count for nothing if he screws the proverbial pooch overseas and/or domestically. He’ll likely find, to his shock, that Al Qaeda will hate him every bit as much regardless of how much he “consults” with the United Nations or how many Gitmo prisoners he releases back into the general population.
Obama needs to remember this old political adage:
“Living atop Mount Olympus is nice, but it also makes you an easy target for lightening strikes.”
