Questions for Obama supporters
Not arguments. Not attacks. Just questions.
1) Has Obama ever actually defined "change"? What is it, exactly, that he intends to change? How? Into what?
2) Why is change automatically a good thing? How is it that Obama has convinced the American public that "change" is an intrinsically positive word?
3) Isn't saying "this election result shows progress against bias in our nation" (or somesuch) incongruous? Doesn't this statement itself make a racial judgement and imply that race is important in politics?
4) How are we going to regain the world's respect by withdrawing troops from Iraq and leaving an unstable ally to its fate?
Just some questions.
