Obama Becoming A Man for All
Seasons
Khaleej Times, Dubai
Debbie Menon 9 December 2008
It would seem that US
President-elect, Barrack Hussein Obama is becoming the man for all seasons.
His promise of hope is so
non-committal and non-specific that he is offering a pair of magic shoes that fit all feet.
It is like a plan
for the revolution, but someone has to step to the fore, turn the right way, and start the march. It is going to be
a long one, wherever it goes for America, and no one has really mentioned the destination as yet.
I do not
think his new slogan “You can do it” will catch on. The Obama I have been watching all year did not seem
like a man who would need slogans once safely in the driver’s seat. The candy Obama offers is like Forrest
Gump’s Chocolate box of Whitman Samplers, there is a piece in there for everyone, but no one knows yet,
exactly what they are going to get.
snip
For he has promised the poor, the deprived, the unemployed, the
homeless and hopeless new shoes that fit all feet, and I wonder how he will deliver! I am more concerned about
Obama’s goals, agenda and direction than the degree of success with which he does it, or fails at it. Is Obama
cool, calm and collected? Or is he simply cold and calculating? That we shall wait and
see...
