To all those who think Obama is being unfairly scrutinized by the press or internet bloggers I say "Cry me a river!"
He's a grown man. He's running for the most powerful political office in the world. If he's going to be responsible for national security, if he's going to be setting fiscal and international policy, if he's going to appoint justices to federal courts, then, by crackie, I want to know everything about the man that it is possible to know. All relevant questions should be asked, and answered, before any thinking voter casts a ballot for him: What political philosophy does he follow? Democratic, Marxist, or Socialist? Is he lying when he answers that question? Is he a closet Muslim? Does he favor a foreign policy similar to that of Neville Chamberlain? Is he a closet racist? Will he gut the military and bust the budget with give-away programs?
So far, he hasn't answered those question satisfactorily. There's a possibility that he's either a stuffed shirt or a phoney....or something even worse.
For those who have consistently argued that we can't elect a president who would be any worse that GWB, I say, you're wrong. It can get much worse, especially if we're voting blindly.
