Oh talk radio, you make me sick. And yet, I can't quit you.
I was flipping around this morning and heard Bill O'Reilly talking about how Obama is an empty suit, all rhetoric and no solutions. And that continues a trend I've noticed recently. All I keep hearing from these pea-brained mofos is about how Obama just gives good speeches, that he lacks any substance. Well yeah, I guess if you willfully choose to only listen to a couple of speeches, that might be true (actually, it isn't true, Obama has given a plethora of policy oriented speeches). To say that Obama has no policy proposals is proven wrong in about ten seconds with a few quick mouse clicks. Google "Barack Obama" + whatever issue you want. See? Or go to BarackObama.com and look under issues. IT'S ALL RIGHT THERE. You can even download a pdf. You just have to actually *gasp* take ten seconds to look for it.
Saying and repeating that he "has no substance" doesn't make it true. Is it seriously too much to ask that you actually, you know, check before you start spouting this bullshit? These must be the same people too lazy to check snopes before emailing me about the coming jenkem epidemic.
By the way, what is so wrong about giving a good speech? Someone has managed to actually inspire my cynical, jaded ass, and that's a bad thing? What do you want him to do, read his policy papers verbatim out loud? You want him to crunch budget numbers in front of you? Al Gore already tried that, and you mocked him for that. That did the country a lot of good. Assholes.
