Posted by: RedRiverJ 1 year, 9 months agoDear Barack Obama: I grew to like you over the last year. I've always thought of you as dangerously naive at best. Eloquent, gifted, genuine, yes. But dangerously naive at best.

May 15, 2008, 3:58 p.m.Dangerously naive is a serious concern with many politicians that think they know what is best for the American people. Elitist politicians do not have a clue as to what the average american wants or needs.

May 15, 2008, 4:23 p.m.Good article RRJ. I hate that we only have 999 characters to write on this site. That "Hope and Change" message along with the "Yes We Can" have been such a joke. And then there were the first rallies that people were fainting at. OMFG, he is a rock star. And the throngs prove it.
But, his messages are what have gotten me to look the other way. Seriously, when a politician starts preaching it is time to look the other way. AG coined it perfectly last year when she wrote the words... "Cult Of Personality."
He preaches at his rallies, and the throng of worshipers shout "yes we can" as an amen. He has the way of bringing them together. But, you and I both know that he is another politician. You and I can think of two words that sum him up just like his counterparts. Illegal Immigration, are two words that still come to mind. But, remember we would vote against that and so then we are labeled racist cause we want Illegals to go home.

May 15, 2008, 8:24 p.m."And, since your rise I've hunted, quite frantically, for young conservative leaders with your talent. (To my relief, I found Bobby Jindal.)"
Interesting that the writer mentions Bobby Jindal
I think this is a name we are going to hear mentioned frequently in the future

May 15, 2008, 8:30 p.m.I have to admit, I'm not as thrilled with Obama as I was a few months ago. I'm not ready to jump on the McCain wagon, but Obama's sheen is definitely wearing a little thin. I really, really want to keep on believing in him. But I need...something.
I don't know.

May 15, 2008, 9:01 p.m.The Speeches he gives are about hope and change. He gives a very top level idea of what he is talking about. That leaves everybody thinking he will do what they want never realizing that there are no specifics.
If you go to his web site there are a lot more details and they are very expensive. Very far left. They want your name, email address, and zip code to go in and then they hit you with requests for donations. You have to look carefully to find his stands on things.
What a guy.

May 15, 2008, 9:12 p.m.Sometimes when ones mind is closed to new ideas it only see's what it wants to see. An open mind, well, an open mind allows one to experience new ideas, soperhaps we should work on opening up our minds to the possibility of positive change.

May 16, 2008, 1:01 a.m.We have to learn a lesson from the past experience and we should not be fooled by the sweet words of these politicians.

May 16, 2008, 8:30 a.m.How does the writer reconcile their animosity towards taxes with their support for continuing the Iraq War. We keep borrowing $2,000,000,000 a week from the international community to prolong the War. The writer's position is fiscally inconsistent.

May 16, 2008, 9:01 a.m.This article reminds me of "soft porn." Slightly more palatable do to milder packaging than the usual smut, but in the final analysis, just as trashy.

May 16, 2008, 9:18 a.m.It seems that everyone is always complaining about politicians not getting them or not understanding the average person. Well isnt obvious that will a country this size, that you cant please every single person and that everything that is wrong cannot be fixed. I mean the things you all say about Obama, the same can be said about every politician. So what now.. Who has Presidential Experience except an Ex president...not the wife of or the side kick. One can only know what they wll be able to do when they get there. Until then, EVERY politicians words are hopeful speeches. I can sit here and tell my staff that I want to get X amount of grant dollars for this year but until I actually know what I am workign with and DO THE WORK ITSELF ...it's just hope. Dont be mad because he can out talk someone. (and notice how I didnt make it about race)

He's a professor, not a President.

May 16, 2008, 10:52 a.m.Meh. Saying small town people are stupid is obviously ridiculous and untrue. But it is still true that people vote based on non issues like gay marriage and terrorism in north Dakota. What terrorist would ever bomb anything in North Dakota? And as a result we get retards like Bush in office. It is a little hard not to get bitter at yall small town folk for electing people based on things like "family values".
