Don’t Believe The Hope (Hype)

I am borrowing this phrase and ideology from one of my favorite groups from the 80’s and 90’s - Public Enemy because I believe it fits so perfectly. We as a people have to be careful of those that come bearing gifts that we all may want.

There are two real reasons why I will not be voting for Barack Obama.

1. Let’s be clear experience and a solid record matter.

His lack of experience is transparent and troubling. I rarely agree with the New York Times but on this point they are correct. Most Americans just met him in 2004 at the DNC national convention, he does not have a deep enough record and it is not a coincidence that Republicans from Tucker Carlson to Joe Scarborough think “he is the best candidate the Democrats have had in 30 years.” We as Democrats should all be careful when we take advice from wolves.
