rule,

How can I point out errors when you do exactly what you claim Obama does, talk in generalities without offering any specifics of why? If you base your decisions only on brief speeches without any further research it's no wonder you don't know his "plan and direction".
Fair enough...
I'll ask you to respond to any of the the social points raised by the Senator during last nights speech. I listened to it. Feel free to respond in general or in the specific.
The Senator pointed out the fact that more Americans were working for less, had homes in foreclosure, see their homes losing value, had difficulty affording college, and couldn't afford to put gas in their cars. Jobs they go to and work voluntarily, homes they bought voluntarily, education that is not guaranteed by the Constitution or any amendment to it, cars that are bought and used as a end decision process. Senator Obama said that all these problems continue because the government didn't and doesn't "respond". What I waited for was exactly HOW the Senator would respond in the event he became President. Did anyone hear any further commentary that could be interpreted as an answer?
Will you expect and demand answers before you cast your vote? Are you ready to blinding go forth with someone who can point out the obvious but is unwilling to assign any blame to the perpetrators, the people who made those decisions regarding residence, job, mode of transportation? Although it wasn't the Senator, someone else at the convention went beyond these adult made decisions and furthered the case of excusing failure by saying that people shouldn't have to, or be expected to relocate in order to get a "good job". Alluding to the requirement that businesses should bring whatever job or responsibility to the place where people live, and not where the work is. I tried to imagine the construction boom that was occurring in Vegas being outsourced to Detroit; but don't think that manufactured housing was what Steve Wynn has in mind for his next casino.
Since so far, not one Senator Obama supporter has been able, or wanted to, get to the specifics either to the cuts he mentioned quickly yesterday or the taxes he is advocating. Lets just get into the specifics from his address.
Forget for a minute about how the Senator will fund his proposals. Let's give him an open checkbook. What is the reality of an Obama administration? Will your choice of housing be government determined? Will everyone be a government employee working out of your government subsidized home? Will you be driving in a government provided personal vehicle, or be allowed to have a personal vehicle? Will you have a say in what education and what level you child can achieve or will your progeny be enrolled in a blanket education program brought to you by the same government bureaucracy which brought you "No child left behind"?
I listened - that is what I heard. How about you?

I do have to admit your last lines were funny though. Oh hell, if you don't keep a sense of humor during this choice process for November you'll liable to make yourself crazy! Thanks for taking it in the spirit intended!
