Obama on the Issues

Both the Clinton and McCain campaigns have decided to attack Barack Obama on his seemingly “empty” speeches. They say he speaks eloquently, but actually says very little. I heard the same canard tonight on Alan Handelman’s show from FM Talk 101.1 radio. Both of these factions are desperate, I’ll say that again, desperate to find some point of weakness regarding Barack Obama. He has inspired young and old, has momentum, new ideas, independent voters and is raising piles of donations even as we speak. But if we don’t nip this myth that no one knows where Obama stands on the issues right now, it might gain a foothold.

So in order to help Alan, Hillary, McCain and all those GOP lovers out there who are too lazy to actually do a Google search, I provide you with this hyperlink:

http://www.barackobama.com/issues/

Barack’s issues page is even broken down into small, easily digestible chunks perfect for today’s fast paced world. Wondering what Obama’s take on the economy is? Look no futher than his, get this, economy page:

• Provide Middle Class Americans Tax Relief Trade
• Technology, Innovation and Creating Jobs Labor
• Protect Homeownership and Crack Down on Mortgage Fraud
• Address Predatory Credit Card Practices
• Reform Bankruptcy Laws
• Work/Family Balance

But Ged, what about the environment? I don’t know where to find Obama’s stance on global warming or our dependency on foreign oil? You’re in luck my friend because Barack has another page called energy & environment:

• Provide Middle Class Americans Tax Relief Trade
• Reduce Carbon Emissions 80 Percent by 2050
• Invest in a Clean Energy Future
• Support Next Generation Biofuels
• Set America on Path to Oil Independence
• Improve Energy Efficiency 50 Percent by 2030
• Restore U.S. Leadership on Climate Change

I know it sounds silly, but his official website goes on like this for pages and pages. Answers to all those burning questions you had about things like Barack’s faith, healthcare, social security, immigration and a whole host of other things I’m sure you’re very interested in. Some of his positions are even aligned with that man from Texas you love so much. So please don’t give into the fear, uncertainty and doubt being generated by a man that is running under the credo who seems to be aligning himself as George W. Bush’s third term, or the wife of a former President who thought she had Super Tuesday sewn up. Next time try doing your own homework and spare us the grief.

  1. >So please don’t give into the fear, uncertainty and doubt being generated by a man that is running under the credo of George W. Bush’s “third term”

    Has McCain expressed–or even alluded to–the idea that he represents anything like a “third term” of Bush? I’d be interested in finding out if he did.

  3. I’m glad there’s plenty of info on his web site. I actually have been a bit frustrated with the vagueness of his speeches lately, but I don’t have a lot else to complain about.

  5. From a non-American’s perspective, I think Obama is far and away the best candidate for the Democratic nomination. He represents a change from the old guard, and the US badly needs that.

    I think the positive fall-out of having the first black president—and an intelligent and thoughtful president at that—will be just the thing to revive America’s standing in the world, which has taken an unbelievable beating under Bush.

    I can only watch from the sidelines and hope that the Democrats see sense, and then the voting public do too… Keep beating your campaign drum, Ged!

  6. if you are fooled by this obama crap, then go ahead and tank up!… experience? where is it… community organizer… wow. al you in the tank for obama crazies need to get off the star struck mesiah stuff and look at hard core dynamics… i would rather have a guy who has played ball before on my team in the world series than someone who just went out and tried to put together a team. think about it.doesnt take a rocket scientist..
