Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views on Obama
I agree, Amos...

Other tham Hillary, who tends to be too wonkish, no other candidate is being held to a higher standard of articulating policy details than Obama...

This in itself is somewhat racist...

"Wwell, Ralph, let's see if the black guy has a brain..."

Duhhhhh!!!

I mean, let's get real here... Who is it who is being hounded more for policy details than Obama... Clinton ain't... She juts enjoys spoutin' 'um off to show how smart she is...

Heck, no one even asks Dennis anu questions and John Edwards ain't too far behind Dennis is that regards...

As for the Repubs, who is asking them anything at all...

So it comes down to some PR crap that the Repubs have devised to try to set aome doubts in the minds of the voters about Obama's grasp of policy... Well, there will be plenty of time to get down to the nitty gritty... The Repubs are collectively scared to death of Obama, understand fully that they most likely will have to defeat him and are starting early with their subtle and not-so-subtle attacks on him...

What I really want to know is the specifics on Hucklebee's "Fair Tax" idea... No, not the glossy version but the details??? And I want to know the specifics on McCain's plan in Iraq other than stay the course for the next 1,000,000 years??? And I want Guiliani to tell us why being the mayor of NewYork when it was attacked qulaifies him to be president??? Or why his kids don't support him??? Or how he expects to win "family values" voters with his womanizing past... And I want Romney to tell us why we should believe him when he flip-flops like a fish outta water...

Yeah, until these questions are being asked of the white candidates, there is, IMO, a certain amount of dual standards being pushed here...

Obama/Richardson or
Obama/Warner
