80. It is? Sounds like cutsy euphemisms to me.

Where are the specifics in clever phrases like that?

Very fluffy. No substance.

Obama knows that if he got specific by, say, taking a definite position on stem cell research, say, or abortion, or prayer in schools, or corporate control of the media, or universal health care, or Iraq, or (fill in the blank), he'd be pissing off either (what he refers to as) Red America or Blue America. So he pretends he can somehow represent everybody, which we all know is absurdly impossible. And this absurdity is what he keeps calling "change". Bleahhhh.
