OH Barack

I watched the democatic national convention today and here and there for the past three days. Did you catch it? If you did, I am sure you can relate to what I am talking about. Barack Obama is a ham - yeah, I said it. I think he should have been an actor, because of his ability to whip people into a frenzy over...well, I'm not sure...is uncanny. His speeches and his appearances seem so scripted - even his conversations with his little girls during Monday night's speech by his wife Michelle (who I do like in a way). To me, his policies and goals seem very vague. I do find myself buying into the hype for a minute or two every now and then. Like tonight when he and Joe Biden were up on stage with "The Rising" playing in the background. Then, I think, what rising is he going to bring? Taxes? And I feel...well...shmoozed and manipulated by the fanfare of it all. I just want to see more substance and less shmooze. Honestly!
