Obama is scary because he is an unknown. His pandering to those who feel entitled to live off the work of others is certainly disconcerting, but I wonder what he would do once elected. JFK, after all, lowered taxes after running a left-looking campaign. Obama is intelligent; might he bow to reality and use his inspirational talents to push a new personal responsibility rather than demagogue against the “rich” if elected?
How do those of you who equate an inspirational leader with mindlessness square that with your adulation for Reagan? He was inspirational and much of his success was attributable to his ability to make people feel good about themselves. Were you a mindless supporter of his policies?
I Don’t want an Obama presidency, and will even vote for McCain, whom I dislike, if he is what the Republicans end up with. However, Obama seems to genuinely wish to inspire the country, and I will take an Obama administration over another ruthless, corrupt, do-what’s-good-for-Bill&Hill Clinton administration any day.
