Obamarama

Point well taken, Rob, but it is not Obama the man I am concerned about, but Obama the politician.

To help clarify thinga at least in my own mind, I've come up with a list of his plusses and minuses.

Plusses:

Nice dresser (Hey, what can I say? Most women are going to notice.)
Excellent Speaker
Uses the parallel structure well
Nice economic plan

Minuses:

Liberal
Bobbing Adam's apple (Sorry, but most women are going to notice that, too.)
Hangs out with the wrong crowd
Could be influenced by them as well.
Wants to send everyone and his cousin to college

It's probably going to be the lesser of two evils for most people, and if Charlie Sheen were running at this point, he would probably get some votes as well. For me it is not about the color of a candidate's skin but about the political action plan. Either way, Obama has already won. He has broken certain barriers and now sits in on the holy order of sainthood.
