It's been my observation that Obama supporters seem to be content for him to spout empty phrases while they cheer enthusiastically at each new offering.  But what are they cheering?  There's very little substance.  And what little there is, is quite troubling, certainly nothing to cheer about.

Obama is merely this year's tired old retread on a gimmick that has brought the democrats some measure of success in the past.  In 1972, voters went to the polls to vote for a guy they knew very little about.  That brought us the malaise years, the incredibly destructive Carter administration.

Once again in 1992, we were offered up another governor this time from Arkansas that voters knew very little about.  That year they voted in the slickmeister, perhaps the closest thing to a (dixie) mafia stooge we'll ever get.  Where do you begin to describe those years, watching the democrats defend a guy for having sex with a woman thirty years his junior in the Oral Office, while not having more than five minutes conversation with her during the first year of their deeply fulfilling relationship.  The guy even made phone calls from the Oral Office talking to politicians about deploying U.S. toops, while getting serviced.  And that was by no means the worst of it.

Here we are again with an unknown.  The guy offers up some great speeches, it's just that they're calorie free.  It's as if his supporters see him as some modernistic version of Yoda.  When he speaks they close their eyes and rely on the Force.  The question is, which side is that Force on?  Is it the Alican Skywalker Force, or the Darth Vador Force?

Folks need to read about Obama.  If ever there was a guy that folks should get to know before voting, this is the one.  The vacant see him as a benevolent sage, but I'm thinking it will turn out to be a more like Derth Maul.  The vacant hammer of this year's left.

It’s Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Darth Maul. Other than that, good post.

He has the stupid vote locked up - which means that it’s the biggest voting block in America behind him.

I am pretty sure I voted for Nixon in 1972, and against Carter in 1976?

......Folks need to read about Obama.....

The over stressed under hydrated women of America do neither.

...”In 1972, voters went to the polls to vote for a guy they knew very little about. That brought us the malaise years, the incredibly destructive Carter administration.”...

Richard Nixon won in 1972, destroying George McGovern. Jimmy Carter was elected in 1976, much to our eventual detriment. He presided over the first actions in the islamic war against the USA, on November 4, 1979.

In 1972 Nixon won his second term. By 1976 he was gone and Ford was the GOP nominee against the unknown from GA Jimmy Carter. You have Carter winning in ‘72. But your point about unknowns getting elected is undiminished by that...
