Obama is growing on me more and more |
|
Sometimes I think HC has made some good points and I worry a bit about Obama, he comes on and hoses her down.
Good job "O"

4. Personally I am still waiting for him to define himself |
|
All we have gotten out of him thus far are reactions to whatever Hillary says or does and slick, professionally written slogans. He has defined himself as being, 'not Hillary,' which anyone on earth can claim. So far Obama has taken full advantage of the medias 15 year, and running, blanket party on the Clinton's, allowing the media to do his dirty work for him. Until substance is forthcoming, I remain uncommitted.
Slogans do nothing for me, sorry.

5. To me, it's Hillary that has not defined herself. |
|
She seems incomplete to me in some ways. I've had that feeling about her for quite a while now, I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was, but that's it - she seems like she's missing something. She is intelligent and has many good qualities, but there's a gaping mysterious hole.
It was Donna Brazille on CNN last night that pegged it for me. She said that Clinton is like a good recipe for Gumbo, but with a very important ingredient left out - the spice or something.
What I think is missing in Hillary, is wisdom.
The kind you can see in a person, know it's there but can't really describe. I think Obama has that - I see that in him.
Hillary seems like she's a memorizer, a roter. She's very good at it, but it leaves me thinking she is not 'invested' in her words. That she doesn't even really believe them herself.
She also talks about the me and I far too much. It comes across as the story being about her - about her position and power and how she will wield it over subjects home and abroad.
I get a whole different sense with Obama - he includes everyone in his plans. He is on the sidelines watching us come together to make the changes he envisions.

6. he's very fast on his feet. |
|
Hillary seems to have a list memorized in her head and Barack just wings it, and wings it well. huge difference between the two, I think.
