Barack Obama: Too cautious for my taste
By VictorM: I'm not yet paying too much attention to presidential candidates. I think the three leading Democrats are fine and I will never, ever vote for a Republican, so I will slowly make up my mind about one of the Democrats. But as of now, I have to agree with Kevin Drum on Senator Barack Obama:I know the Obama fans out there are going to jump all over this, but I have to say that the guy's losing me. He's an inspiring speaker, and given the realities of how presidents exercise power that's no small thing. But he sure is cautious to a fault. His big foreign policy speech was fine, but cautious and mainstream. His big healthcare speech was fine, but cautious and mainstream. And now his big tax speech is....just cautious and mainstream. I really want to hear something big and controversial from Obama, something that demonstrates a desire to shake up the status quo. But he just doesn't seem to be willing to take any chances. That's a shame.
I do, however, prefer to believe that Obama would hire good people to actually, you know, govern things.
That's all I care about at this stage of the game. Competence and a willingness to govern.
