The First American Idol President?

Yes, it's true. Our country may be witnessing the first nominee for President that is campaigning like he is a contestant on American Idol. Just look at the MSM (MainStream Media) drooling all over itself while playing snippets of Obama speeches showing the wild near convulsions from his audience. For example, Chris Mathews of MSNBC, formerly an ardent Clinton supporter, said he felt a "thrill" up his leg after listening to one of Obama's speeches.

The American Idol TV show judges talent. In Obama's case this is his oratory skills. All you have to do is substitute the media for the judges. In many of his speeches Obama seems to stir the crowd with themes like hoping for hope, causing young people to almost faint. I keep looking for an audience applause meter while I watched Obama show that he is the best when it comes to saying something about nothing. In fact, it's almost like he is a character on the comedy show Seinfeld, the show about nothing.

While it's nice to hope, hope by itself never gets things done. People actually doing things get results, whether they be good or bad. It's nice to stir the crowd with themes like hope and change, but we need the know what specific actions the speaker is hoping for and what specific changes he or she wants to make. In Obama's case he is really hoping for changes that will make people more dependent on government rather than stirring them into accomplishing more for themselves and being more accountable for their own actions. Government doesn't make this country great, people do. That's the theme I want to hear. I want to hear the specific actions a candidate will take to reduce dependency on government and lower taxes, so people are free to achieve the best for themselves, their families, and their country.
