he is a liar and panderer. woe be unto the suckers that bought into his phony message. it’s no wonder that the majority of his support is from the young crowd. they don’t know any better yet. the brain-washed, hypocritical intelligensia (they know what’s good for you, just ask em) and the “proud” black vote is his constituency because these groups are most succeptable to a snow job. the dems threw their best candidate off the train. she tried to tell em. they have gotten exactly what they have voted for.

I’m not sure what is going on with Obama and his campaign.

You’re not alone. As the NYT said in a July 4 editorial titled “New and Not Improved,” “Senator Barack Obama stirred his legions of supporters, and raised our hopes, promising to change the old order of things. [...] Now there seems to be a new Barack Obama on the hustings.”

I think I’m going to go take a nap – a 4-month long one!
I’m not sure what is going on with Obama and his campaign. Is the media spinning it one way? Are the right-wingers trying to trap him? Is the middle beckoning? Regardless of the answer(s), I think the distress many of us staunch supporters are feeling (yes, I know I can only speak for myself) is caused in part by our unwillingness to be as critical as we should be. We are responsible for putting him on a political pedestal, and while I am a bit squeamish about what is coming next, I do know it was only a matter of time before we met up with disappointment.It remains to be seen if Obama’s politics will be the face of change. I’m still hopeful and a staunch supporter, but a more guarded one these days.
