Comments on: Obama And Competence: The New New? Or The Same Old, Same Old? http://firedoglake.com/2009/01/08/obama-and-competence-the-new-new-or-the-same-old-same-old/ Firedoglake weblog Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:11:40 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: alibe50 http://firedoglake.com/2009/01/08/obama-and-competence-the-new-new-or-the-same-old-same-old/#comment-1786699 alibe50 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 07:47:15 +0000 http://firedoglake.com/2009/01/08/obama-and-competence-the-new-new-or-the-same-old-same-old/#comment-1786699 <p>I just want one signal that Obama is half as smart as people imagine him to be! When I hear him speak w/o teleprompter, all I hear are worn out cliches and trite remedies for serious problems. Even his speech today, all PR and old tired solutions that never worked. I just get the feeling he is determined to funnel all that money to his Chicago cronies. I just hope I am wrong.</p> I just want one signal that Obama is half as smart as people imagine him to be!
