You are absolutely right!!!! OBAMA is a media creation!!! He has the talent to give a great speech even though a lot of what he says has already been said by someone else that he borrowed from. He certainly can get people up and shouting for him, but what else can he do? He has not paid his dues, and he has not done any great changing as of yet. We must remember, the president has only as much power as the House and Senate will let him have. I don't think I will vote this year. Oh yes, I almost forgot....his wife can put her foot squarely in her mouth. He should put a lock on her mouth and throw away the key..

I'd go ahead and add health care to the list of things that I wouldn't mind my taxes going to. We can spend billions of dollars in Iraq, a bridge to nowhere, crazy amounts of earmarks and pork. Why not cut the crap and spend the money on something that would actually benefit the people that pay taxes??
That said, I'm not a huge fan of Obama. I mean, he's better than any of the republicans running this year, but he doesn't seem to have a ton of substance. He seems a little bit of a media creation. I was hoping Bill Richardson would do a little better, but he's not getting much attention.
