except his speaking skill.

His record isn't inspiring. It's duplicitous, dishonest, and cowardly. ("Pushed the wrong button" and "present". "I promise I will not fund this war if elected" but funded it)

His hands aren't clean. House was financed two years ago by a slumlord under fed investigation who had buildings in Obama's district where people froze to death when the heat was turned off for five weeks in the winter.

His personality is most like Lord Pissypants the Decider than like any other modern politician's

Obama isn't destined for "greatness" because there's nothing in his record, resume, or personal profile that is "great." Not a war hero. Not a civil rights hero. Nothing.

That's why people are calling the following a cult. It's organized around a politician who is only proven on one thing: reading mish mash platitude filled speeches well.

Hes' not even a good communicator outside of pre-written speeches.

Cult followings are about the neediness and desperation of the followers that makes them vulnerable to snake oil salesmen, not the "greatness" of the salesman.

1. Obama's campaign reminds me of another campaign...

A campaign based on catch phrases, centered around a guy
people would like to have a beer with.

My husband says this is why Obama will win the primary, and we'll
get stuck with president McCain.
