For once, we're on the same wavelength. I like Obama because he is a good speaker, is charming, and seems truly to want to make the country a better place. But truth to tell, if you ask me about what he really stands for on a plank for plank basis, I couldn't tell you. If I were a U.S. voter, I don't think I could vote for him feeling as vague as I do with what the details of his platform really are.
