Hey don't look now but Obama is on tv talking about issues AGAIN - discussing policy specifics AGAIN

just like he regularly does, contrary to the ridiculous talking point of the opposition.

It's so great when you can support a candidate that is not only inspiring and likable but also has a clear vision and agenda for the white house.

15. worse,, he's a "Hope Monger"!
It cracked me up to hear Obama joke about how he had been accused of being
a Hope Monger.

He put it into perspective.

He also explained why hope is not the same thing as naivete.

Many great things have been accomplished because someone dared to hope!

4. WHAT IS HE GOING TO HOPE TO CHANGE
j/k

K&R

We're loving this speech, and he's included one of his new subjects of his stump, which we heard for the first time on Monday - his plan to give college money in exchange for volunteering for selfless causes. :bounce:

8. Ooooo look! Another liar.

He's talked issues in every stump speech I've seen, his detailed sixty-four page plan is not a new creation.

The truth is that your guys' smear tactic fails. And the more people see him, the more that tactic fails. Get used to it.

6. I've Just Been Listening
to a re-broadcast. He really is
sounding a lot more like Edwards than
he was a few months ago.
I'm not that impressed (yet) but since I'm ABC
I'll vote for him this coming Tuesday.

12. You miss the AGAIN part.... its just another example of opposition lying.
They love to spread the meme "no substance." The only trouble is, its never been true.

This
http://www.barackobama.com/pdf/ObamaBlueprintForChange.pdf

Isn't a new creation. And I've seen Obama in person. And guess what? He stump speech included policy specifics. His speech on Super Tuesday did, in SC, NH, Iowa. Catch him on C-span on the road and you'll hear him give more bullet points specifically about policy.

It was a lie from day one. It was designed to PAINT a picture of Obama, build cynicism towards his inpsirational qualities with the goal of making up the minds of the public BEFORE they heard him so that the "no substance" meme would stick no matter what the facts were....

...guess what... IT FAILED.

11. And apparently not telling the truth about his health care plan
How does he propose to cover everyone if they have to pay for insurance, yet not be required to purchase it? Sorry that's not "covering everyone".

He also needs to come clean on why his plan doesn't exempt workers earning under $250,000 from being taxed on their employer paid health insurance.

Oh, and what about helping small businesses buy health plans for their employees?

18. Of all the idiotic postings by Hill's people, the charge that
he lacks specifics is the demonstrably false.
