thats the point. i don't know what obama believes in. it seems a lot of people are asking the same question. you can only go so far on "change" "hope" and "new direction."

at some point, specifics will have to come forth and i think that is happening right now. we are seeing that obama is being forced to start showing something/proving himself.

we have great speakers throughout this country. tell us why you are qualified for the job damnit. i could care less about your motivational speeches.

Could have been.

These are big rallies where thousands of people have stood in line for hours and been packed into crowded, hot arena's. There's a reason they have EMT's at all of these events, people pass out all the time at them.

I can attest to that. We waited outside in Boston for almost four hours in 15 degree weather. There were people infront of us who had been waiting much longer. They packed well over 10,000 people into the trade center and the temperature went from below freezing to stiffeling almost immediately. Considering the drastic temperature changes, excitement, and immense lack of space it's really not surprising that people are fainting.
