I think what he might be saying here, is that Obamas speeches at times sound reasonable. They did during the campaign too. That’s exactly what caused some independents and conservatives to vote for him! He actually sounded conservative at times! He was quite a chameleon, like B. Clinton!
Of course many of us were not fooled. But I was surprised to say the least, and dismayed to see how many independents, Republicans, and conservatives of both groups, who did fall for it. You’d think they would’ve seen through him; you’d think they would know better, but they didn’t! They fell for it, and crossed over to vote for him anyway!
I don’t know if they became enthralled by his sugar-coated rhetoric, or if they just wanted to give a black person a chance in order to unite, were afraid of riots, of being called a racist, etc.. I guess we’ll just never understand. I don’t think even a lot of them understand or can explain it!
Next time around he, and the dems, will have to run on deeds rather than words. He's far more vulnerable there.
