I know the Obama die-hards are going to hate me for inviting this criticism, but oh well. For someone who is leaning toward Obama (because I can't stomach the Republican Party any more), his speeches are leaving me a little disenchanted.
The speech at the convention was OK, but not as big as I expected for a stadium crowd. And he was just in Michigan recently and I overheard part of his speech in the background on the news (I was doing something else). There were so many pauses and such little energy I didn't think it was Obama.

When he talks about hope and optimism, they bash him, when he doesn't they bash him.
You can't change people who think hope and optimism is a bad thing. All you can do is try to inspire with vision, and capture the imagination of the rest of the human race. Pessimism never created one job or solved one problem. It's one of the reasons why Kerry lost, is because he ran on a platform of cynicism and pessimism.

As a staunch Republican ive noticed the same thing, but I worry. That says to me that he can turn it on and off and now is not the time to bring the reverence and eloquence that had him riding high. Two or three weeks before the election he will flip the switch and it will be down to the wire
