What is Obama's Magic?

As anyone knows, especially Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama is gathering a lot of support and a very strong following. Many have commented that his influence over people resembles that of a religious zealot. His 'rookie' efforts seem to be more effective than the tried and true political power and corruption that Hillary is relying upon.

The magic of Obama is that he is a blank slate. His glorious speeches are made up of warm and fuzzy hope-filled visions of future glory. He does not talk details or specifics on the issues. Rather, he leaves everything wide open.

He puts the blank slate in front of your eyes and then allows you to fill it with your own fantasies and desires. Plug in whatever you want and then find a stamp of approval in his words.

Silly, oh so silly, is any person that would get sucked into this fantasy. Campaign speeches are meaningless unless they merge with reality after the election. Obama is living in a dream world. One example:

In his TV commercial I saw last night he makes the case for needing health care reform. Then he makes this statement, "We must fix health care, but first we must fix Washington."

There is no way Obama is going to fix, or even significantly change Washington. Our government is a huge beast that will not in any way be infuenced by his presence.

Wake up people!
