What was his message that the idiot voters responded to? Most of them didn’t even know what he stood for; which was nothing. He’s an empty suit and we owe this evil Bastard nothing.
That's correct. Obama ran a Seinfeld campaign: a show about nothing.
But what was the Republican campaign about? Anyone? Anyone? Buehler?
For most of the political season, McCain sounded like he was running not for President of the United States but for Secretary of Bipartisan Solutions (or Secretary of B.S.). Now, my friends, in the interest of working together, I think we need to reach across the aisle...
But enough of that. Please. Obama's secret, other than being treated as the media's Lord and Savior, was that he was allowed to elevate Vagueness to an art form. The public responded not because they are too dumb to understand but because they were given nothing nourishing by which to contrast the unbearable lightness of being The One. If Obama was all sizzle and no steak, McCain was an overdone burger with a side of greasy fries. And the only real Filet Mignon in the race was a saucy lady from Alaska whose very rareness contrasted all too harshly with the less filling fare on the menu.
