this is probably one of my very few srs critical analysis of obama.
now obama does to me seems more like a leader of some historic revolution rather than someone who could get down to the nitty gritty of policy and administrative work involved with being the president. He inspires with his prose and poetry, he gives a goody goody feeling to people by saying things which from a philosophical point of view sounds great but from a practical point of view, don't make a whole lot of sense. His speeches are full of generalized messianic claims of how the world will become greener and sky will become bluer and sun will come out etc. etc. when he will become president. Its all very heart warming and inspiring but where is the experience, where is the evidence to suggest that he made one tough decision in his political career, when did ever voted against his party line. Most of the votes in his Illinios senate seat on issues were "present", not yes or no, showing just how from the begining he cared more about being careful in his career as to not hurt himself politically rather than making any tough decisions.
He is no doubt very intelligent and ran one of the best most savvy political campaign in history and will likely be a quick learner at the job but I think the american people are setting themselves up for a big disappointment. There are so many expectations out of Obama and a lot of it because of his rosy speeches, that when a few months will pass by and not much different would happen, this whole media and public love affair will come crashing down. Sure, as someone who likes being popular he will do things to keep himself popular in the media and public, like passing some feel good bill or making some feel good promise, all the tax cuts for the poor and hikes for rich, sound good, but in the long run are those things going to be beneficial or harmful for the country ? we will wait and see.
lol.
