Maybe I've missed it but all I've heard Obama say is "hope" and "change"...?

But no explanation. Hope is always good but hope for what? Change is sometimes good but change what? An explanation would also be good.

Update:

People, this is a forum to exchange ideas and discuss opinion yet some of you (not all mind you) seem not to be able to do this without ranting insults. Please don't show all of us your below 80 IQ. You're emberrasing yourself.

    You didn't miss anything. That's all he's got, empty rhetoric. Up to this point the media has given this fake a free pass. Republican 527 organizations would rip him apart in a general election.

    You certainly have missed it, and how? Where have you been? We're all concerened about crime, right? Well, here's just a tiny bit about what he has done. If you need more help, just let me know.

    Obama had a 2002 bill to stop police abuse. Chicago had become infamous for use of torture by police to help frame innocent people. Thirteen innocent men on Death Row were exonerated and released, some of them victims of these tortured confessions. Illinois desperately needed some action to restore confidence in the police. Obama's proposal was to require videotaping of interrogations of suspects in capital cases. When Obama began, the idea of a bill was opposed by police, prosecutors, most of the senate and the governor. The governor was determined not to appear soft on crime, and had promised to veto any proposal for mandatory tapings. By the time Obama finished his work, the police and prosecutors embraced the bill, it passed in the Illinois Senate by a vote of 58-0. The governor took the unusual step of reversing himself to sign it, and Illinois became the first state to require such tapings.

    Obviously, you an uneducated Hillary supporters. If you think learning the positions of the candidate can be effectively done by watching what they say in their campaign speeches, just shows your level of I.Q.

    Educated voters like Obama supporters, research the candidate; they go to his website and check is track record in the senate, and look at his background before he became a Senator. I have done those things and Obama would make a fine president -- no doubt.

    If you want to continue to watch T.V. and be fed like a naive baby, then stick with Hillary. That's the uneducated gathering anyway.

    Obama 08!!

    1st off this is a democracy and not a monarchy so that puts the Clintons out and 2nd Mccain might as well be a Bush considering he has ALL the same views as Bush as of 4weeks ago. So the only real change would be Obama.

    And if you would all just do a little bit of reading you'll know where he stands on everything DAMN lazy *** people

    Hope is the key for any good change! I hope you have a hope to change your mind for a better non-rept future.

    He's not making any real statements because he does not have to. It's really sad so many retards can't see through this wall of fog he's casted over their eyes.
