The answer to why people like Sen. Obama. - Reader comments at The New York Sun

Submitted by Independent voter, Feb 28, 2008 17:16

Change was the platform George W. Bush ran on. He's a uniter, not a divider. How is Sen. Obama different?
Because he's charismatic and he has ideas that transcend race, gender, and religion. He's universally liked because it's okay to not have a firm stance - life isn't just black and white - it's grey. Even if his policies mirror Senator Clinton's, he's a much more likeable guy and any person knows that you shouldn't make promises you can't keep. That why he doesn't mention how he's going to carry out the promise of change. Why can't people understand that? Isn't the idea of change more important than how to carry it out!
