So what change are we talking about? What goals? What vision?

[info being]

I'm talking about Obama. I've listened and I've watched. I like his bravado, his confidence, and charisma. I even like his message of hope and dreams, though some would consider it to be fluff.

I'm a dreamer myself. I'm a Utopian. I'm even foolish enough to support Dennis Kucinich in the face of all odds. I want change. I want to believe. Right now, I want what John Edwards is offering.

But back to Obama. So tell me, please, what exactly is Obama's big dream? What is his vision? What is his goal? Is it just to be President, or does he want to do something once he gets there? Is the election of a minority enough of a statement, or do we have bigger goals?

I listened to last night's speech with a very open mind. I was willing to embrace him, but wanted just a little piece of something I could stand on, cling to, hold, and feel. What I found out is that his only tangible goal, promise, or vision is to make health care a little less expensive for some families.

Are you fucking kidding me? Health care is a human right in any prosperous country. What about helping families with day care? What about lowering the cost of college education? What about ending the war immediately? What about going after the war criminals who have taken over this country?

Please tell me why I'm wrong about this conclusion. Give me something tangible! Anybody!

(on edit: all he seems to offer are cliches...it is driving me crazy)
