I do not envy Obama's task tommorrow night

[4themind]

Not all of these are my personal opinions on Obama but just an amalgamation of what I've seen as the differing(and joint) expectations among people for Obama and his campaign.

-For one group of voters he'll be expected to give specifics on his energy, economic, healthcare, and economic plans, how they help the middle class and differ from McCain

-For another group he'll be expected to provide the rationale for why we will make the best commander in chief

-For another group he'll be expected to demonstrate that he has sufficient qualifications and experience to be president

-For another group he'll be expected to reaffirm and/or demonstrate that he's a sufficient proponent of Woman's rights

-For another group he'll be expected to "tear" into McCain, to give the red meat at what has been seen by this group as a "vegan" convention (not that anything is wrong with vegans's just that it's a contrast to "red meat"

-For another group he'll be expected to define the message of a "new politics" and a change in tone in washington that has inspired so many young voters to put him into the position he's at now in the first place.

-For many he'll be expected to do all of the above in one speech

And finally he'll be expected to present this with the style that he's given in his speech just four years ago (or in Philadelphia)

To satisfy all of these groups with one speech, will he do it, or come close enough? We'll see but in IMO....Yes he can.

1. somehow, i think he looks forward to it.

5. I agree with you on this one... It's a speech he's looking forward to giving

2. And he'll breeze right through it.

Now that Hillary has officially taken herself out of the play, the focus SHOULD be on him.

4. He always exceeds all expectation. He will be brilliant!

6. The only speech of his that I did not care for was the Berlin one. Other than that he always exceeds

my expectations. Hope I have not set them too high for the anniversary of Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" though.
