subtee -> RE: Obama Avoids Tough Questions from Press, Again (5/24/2010 10:19:24 PM)

No, I'm not going to argue his campaign promises, just as you wouldn't want to argue Dubya or his daddy's campaign promises. Different aminals.
The country is polarized because of his race and because he does less pandering to tow the line than politicians usually do. A perfect example is the impetus of this thread. Obama told the press ahead of time he would'n't be engaging in a press conference. They tried anyway; their job to do so. He stuck by what he said. They got pissy (which is not their job).
Dealio is, the man is a MAN. That's my opinion. He takes responsibility, he addresses multiples of issues and he means what he says. With Dubya, you could practically see somebody else's lips move. He didn't know dick. He was whiney and mealy-mouthed and didn't believe himself. He didn't even want the freaking job, he just wanted to make dad happy (first term)/and then vindicate/slash/show up daddy (second term).
History will castigate Dubya. This I believe.
Obama will, like with health care reform, accomplish in spite of naysayers, odds, polls, etc.
My opinion, blah, etc.
