I think part of Obama’s appeal is that he speaks very well, and speaks in enough generalities that people come way thinking they support his stands on issues

Clearly, he's a gifted speaker. However, he speaks in nothing more than platitudes. How can one support his stance on any issues when he never mentions them?

That crowd does not want to hear about the issues, it's about how they feel. No thought required.
