Last November, thought that Obama was the leader of the future. He could bridge the racial divide; he could bridge the partisan divide in DC; he could do the work of the people, vice the work of a particular party or special interests; and he could articulate an issue better than any of his opponents, regardless of party. BUT, that was last November, and this is now August 2008. Think that what we have learned thus far is that Obama just DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT INSTINCTS!! This recent flare up with Russia is a prime example. We could see oil prices rocket if the pipeline in Georgia is ruptured. His energy plan is timid at best, and very politically measured at worse. TRUE -- he could be the Second Coming, BUT, the SECOND COMING OF JIMMY CARTER!! Can we afford that again?? He seems to be able to change his mind on a dime, and seems to have limited loyalty down -- EXAMPLES: Rev Wright; Tony Rezko, William Ayers; Father Michael Pfleger;  Jim Johnson; and more recently, Wes Clark. He may have had good reason to distance himself from these individuals, but “why was he initially associated for such a long time with them?  Did he misread their intentions?   He seems to have changed his stance on Iran; Cuba; and certainly on campaign finance. Do not think that he has thought through his economic policies and what they would do to the small businesses -- if he has, THEN WE CANNOT AFFORD HIM!! The more I hear from him, the more I feel that he is just not ready for prime time. Hate to admit it, but Hillary's '3 AM' commercial is now hitting home -- especially with his timid response to Russia. He could be extraordinarily DANGEROUS! OBAMA NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME??
