Speak nothing

If Senator Obama wins in November it will because he followed the advice of Pres. Lincoln who said, “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.” The Senator has followed this well. He has said very little about what is needed to help the financial markets and only comments on what others are or are not doing. Sen. McCain stepped in to it with his comment, “The fundamentals of the economy are strong.” And Obama decided to say nothing.

This charismatic man tells us what is wrong with the past like some Monday morning QB, but his future plans sound more like newspeak from some Orwellian alternate universe. “…we can take care of one another and build strong communities grounded in faith and family; that repairing the world is a task that each of us takes up every day. That is how we are going to meet the challenges we face." It sounds great but what does he want to do for us to become this community.

Senator Obama is looking smart without saying a thing, which makes me both frustrated and envious.
