"I read these articles and wonder how anyone could say they don't know anything about Obama? I personally will be voting for third party candidates, so this is not an observation borne of preference. There is no part of his life that has not been totally scrutinized, especially by right wing spin machines hoping to find a magic bullet to discredit him. How can you say you know nothing about him?

I find, after 8 years of a blithering idiot in the white house, the oratory skills of Obama to be refreshing. Shouldn't our potential leaders at least be able to speak with precision and distinction? Why would you fault a person for conducting themselves with some sense of intellect and dignity?

As for not really knowing what he is or who he is.......I am at a loss here. This is where I find I cannot communicate with people who seem otherwise to have some solid ideas. The act of trying to tie mysticism and mythology and some kind of vague spiritulism into why you dislike a candidate is irrational. Its also a far reach even for someone like myself who is usually open to information even if it does not agree with my take on things.

IF you have solid and concrete facts.present them. Citing gaffs, taking things out of context or tying non-relevant info is not th eway to do it. Marti
