Empty Eloquence

I'm beginning to see a crack in Obama's armor. People now seem more aware that his empty words are in fact "just words" - words like "hope" and "change" with little real meaning, substance, or context. His so called "eloquence" is starting to define him as "just eloquent" and little else. Abraham Lincoln made some good words but they had substance and meaning in the bitter turmoil of the times. They weren't just vaporous words meant to stir a crowd. Obama's empty rhetoric reminds me of 1984 when Walter Mondale, the eventual Democrat presidential nominee, said to Gary Hart, his opponent, "Where's the beef."

Some have compared Obama to John F. Kennedy, but where is the comparison? In spite of the fact that JFK would probably fit in more today as a Republican than a Democrat, he had some 14 years as a U.S. Senator after serving valiantly in World War II. Senator Obama has about three years as Senator and a few years in the state legislature with very little to show in significant accomplishments, and he knows little about what it takes to defend a country in time of war. I remember when JFK said those famous words, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country". Whereas, Obama seems to be asking not what you can do for your country, but what I can do for you. This is just the opposite of JFK's vision. In fact John McCain probably has much more in common with JFK than any of the two Democrat nominees.
