We love Obama, if only he were a little more forceful, a little more Kick-Ass. We look for an ideal and then want the candidate to fill in those blanks, whether that is the nature of his personality or not, we want them to act that way.We want sound bytes and photo ops.<br /> The chance for a candidate to be elected seems too lie more in the ability to adapt chameleon style to whatever the flavor of the mood at that time.Then we scratch at our heads at the lack of character and integrity.<br /> We want the juice, the drama, the vitriol.I so long for Obama to stay true to course, true to character, take the high road, put the Nation First.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
