I would think you would appreciate that he picked a guy who knows how the system works since I thought this was one of your main points about Hillary, that she understood the system well enough to make things happen.
Trying to hang a candidate on slogans seems superficial. Anyone who is not George Bush is going to be a radical change. If he had picked a true "outsider" he wouldn't have the tools to work the system to make the changes, right? Obama is transitioning from the Junior High School Popularity Contest full of hot-air slogans to being in striking distance of actually having to have his ass cash the check his mouth has been writing. I'm happy to see that he is aware that he is going to need more experience on his side. People always talk about "change" before they get ground up in the Washington machine, even Bush used to crow about it till he got here. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "do.rflex" <do.rflex@> > > wrote: > <snip> > > Obama, whatever his yet to > > be tested on-the-job judgments, shows - in my view - a reasonable > > conviction to principle > > From an AP analysis of Obama's choice of Biden, > the "ultimate insider," for VP, and how that > appears to give the lie to Obama's pledge to > be "the candidate of change": > > "A senior Obama adviser, speaking on condition of anonymity, > said his boss has expressed impatience with what he calls a > "reverence" inside his campaign for his message of change > and new politics.
