74. I don't really find Obama inspirational.
He is kind of funny sometimes, but his speeches get old fast. I just don't see him as a JFK type. Obama just doesn't speak to me or my concerns really.

I am not interested in Obama's Utopia because I know that is impossible. All people will never unite under a common cause for the good of everyone. The best we can do is make incremental positive changes and fight off the wolves (republicans) while we're at it. I don't believe Obama when he says he can unite republicans and democrats because I know that can't happen. I am a realist and understand that things like universal health care will be incredibly difficult to achieve and will require that we wage a major battle against corporate interests and republican brainwashing.

I find Obama's message to be suspect, and I get the feeling even he knows he can't deliver on his lofty promises of transformation.
