About Obama:

The guy is much too oleaginous, unctuous, by half. Any time he miscues verbally,(which is often), he subsequently 'elaborates' on the issue which, invariably, means a 180 degree turn or an unconvincing deflection of the issue (e.g. I slept every Sunday in church for 20 yrs). I've been in academic life for ~40 yrs and I can spot a liar at a pretty great distance, (with ease). This guy does not give me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. There are things about him that make me recoil. I disagree with McCain on a bunch of things but, along with millions of others, I'm going to play it safe and give him my vote. I have never voted Republican but,I think the Democratic establishment, with its lack of enhandedness with Hillary (and its cockeyed departure from a winner-takes-all paradigm), is going to get the lousy candidate it deserves and going to lose my vote for all time. Oh yeah, and I also find his speeches repetitive, boring, lacking in content and, quite frankly, uninspiring.
