The perfect one. The different one. The non polititian. With his total lack of experience, if he is in fact like any other polititian and takes positions that are based ion expediency, then what is the reason he should be elected? If you are arguing that he is as tarnished by scandals and associations as other pols, then the end equation is he is the most unprepared, least experienced amongst equals.  And frankly a loser when honestly placed side by side others with years of experience. Kind of shocking but his implosion has been stunning, except he has been a media creation from the start. Poof it's gone. I believe it is Mr Obama who is campaigning as the change agent.

And shouldn't we pull our troops out of the Balkans, Korea, NATO and every base around the world? Shouldn't we quit the farce of a missile defense system and just use the military to protect us in our homeland in the unlikely event we are attacked? After all, how is Osama going to get here? And who cares about Jews anyway? And if Iran gets nuclear weapons and uses them, so what? They are a long way off from building a delivery system that could reach us. And if they do, who cares about Georgia or Iowa or Vermont?  I'm desperate for a thread that would lead to understanding what you stand for. We are all crystal clear on what peeves you.  Suppose Obama or Clinton takes office after George Bushchimphitler's term is over. What enlightened change do you expect? Put it out there, Kevin, take a chance. Kevin, are there any terrorist threats including Osama that are worth our concern?

I have avoided Sullivan for several years, but I took your link suggestion but got only this far: "But I do want to say that this searing, nuanced, gut-wrenching, loyal, and deeply, deeply Christian speech is the most honest speech on race in America in my adult lifetime." I have managed to keep my lunch down, but I am in awe of a person so narcissistic that he can write that sentence. Obviously, he assumes the reader will be rendered speechless and overcome with awe. The Obama full disclosure exercise this morning was the audacity of grope. He stepped up to tee, addressed the ball and we all watched as he described it lofting high and straight and finally arcing right toward the cup. Except the ball never left the tee. So his fans can only remark on the nice swing and follow through. Sorry, Obama, but your showy rhetoric is all tinsel and sparkle and it fails the essential Ivory Soap test: it won't float.  Thanks, Ted B.
