Obama is trying to set forth the idea that Hillary Clinton and the rest of the candidates running for president are aging baby boomers whose times have come and gone. They've had their chance to change the world and have failed. Now it's time for a new face with new ideas and new answers. Obama in 2008.
But are they new ideas? First of all you would be hard pressed to find where Obama stands on... well, anything! His version of a platform is as vacant as Microsoft's first versions of any of its software! NOT THERE! And when you do finally nail him down to take a position, it sure sounds like more of the same old, same old. In fact, you can go back so far as pre-world war II Russia to hear some of the same things that were being proposed then!
Obama is a socialist. People site his lack of experience as 1 and 1/2 terms in the Senate as being not enough... But isn't that Hillary's track record too? Just living in the White House shouldn't count as experience, otherwise Chelsea Clinton could claim that she's experienced too! Or even Checkers the dog (God rest his soul!). But check his voting record in Illinois where he was a state legislator. Big government, higher taxes, more government regulation... how is this a new idea?
So if you think there is any difference in the Democratic candidates, think again... and grab your wallets if they are elected!
