<<The entire Obama world is stuck for an answer to that question , they all hope and hope and hope that he does not mean everythhing he says , but does mean what he says when they like what he says.>>
I think you summed that up pretty well.
Speaking for myself, I am NOT happy with a lot of the things Obama has been saying, but I HOPE he doesn't mean them, that it's just stuff he has to say to get elected. Not the most honourable way to win an election, but Republicans have won much more dishonestly. If I could vote, it would be for Obama, simply because I have figured out where McCain stands and what his abilities are, and I KNOW that he would be a disaster for the country, maybe not as big a disaster as G.W. Bush, but a disaster none the less. Obama won't be a great President, but he MIGHT be able to turn the country off the disastrous path that it's now on, if he can shuck some of his campaign rhetoric and has the balls and the staying power to take on the War Party.
