Yes You Can...
...As long as you have a good speech writer, $100 million and a good marketing firm.
But I ask you is it all just words? I'm starting to get a funny feeling about the surge of people that are flocking to this campaign with high hopes. I'm still unsure what I feel about Obama but I can say I don't think I like his technique.
Interesting that one of his colleagues and supporters, State Sen. Kirk Watson cannot list any of Baracks accomplishment in the Senate. A person in this political position who makes such strong arguments for Obama, yet cannot back it up by telling us what accomplishments Barack has made in the Senate, makes me question why he is supporting Obama at all.
Bottom line: If you support Obama then ask yourself this: Is there anything besides "Promise of Change" that makes you support him? If not, you might want to reconsider your vote. If so, then by all means vote for him. Believe me I want Bush out of office as quickly and as much as most, but I think this is Obama's smooth marketing technique.
He talks a good talk but can he walk the walk?

I think Obama is doing his best MLK acting job and using CHANGE in every other sentence to inspire others to vote for him.
But what will he specifically do for gay rights? So, he supports civil unions. Great. When will he push that agenda and influence the various state houses to accept them too? Are is that just lip service to appease us?

Basically, it's the promise of change and my desire NOT to have a Clinton or Bush in the White House...I don't mean to Hillary bash, but can you list her accomplishments? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see much there either...
KarmicDragonfly, Im glad you asked that:
She is the first New Yorker ever to serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee, working to see that America's military has the necessary resources to protect our national security.
Hillary passed legislation to track the health status of our troops so that conditions like Gulf War Syndrome would no longer be misdiagnosed.
She has introduced legislation to tie Congressional salary increases to an increase in the minimum wage, because she believes if America's working people don't deserve a raise, neither does Congress.
She has supported a variety of middle-class tax cuts, including marriage penalty relief, property tax relief, and reduction in the Alternative Minimum Tax, and supports fiscally responsible pay-as-you-go budget rules.
She helped pass legislation that encouraged investment to create jobs in struggling communities through the Renewal Communities program.
She authored legislation that has been enacted to improve quality and lower the cost of prescription drugs and to protect our food supply from bio-terrorism.
She sponsored legislation to increase America's commitment to fighting the global HIV/AIDS crisis, and is now leading the fight for expanded use of information technology in the health care system to decrease administrative costs, lower premiums, and reduce medical errors.
She has passed legislation that will bring more qualified teachers into classrooms and more outstanding principals to lead our schools.
She introduced the Count Every Vote Act of 2005 to ensure better protection of votes and to ensure that every vote is counted.
This is just to name a few...
