Thread Name: BS: Popular Views on Obama
Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views on Obama
It seemed that Obama had not watched the Republican debate and had not been briefed. Did he actually say he was flipping channels between the debate and football? That seemed a bit glib to me.

Is he really that confident? Does he think that he can sit back and ride the charismatic wave? I think he had better start showing the voters that he is more than a media darling. But maybe that is what America wants.

I had really high hopes for Obama but after watching the debate, I think that he lacks substance. Is he really all talk and no action? Will the voter, once again, be swayed by image alone? It seemed that Hillary might be right. He lacks experience.

The only thing that would save him is a strong VP. I think Obama/Richardson or might be the ticket. I was actually impressed with Richardson. He came across as someone who was willing to work hard to promote change. Its hard to know where Obama stands.
