Mr. Neumayr has caught the essence of the Obama campaign. Indeed, the entire liberal movement is here in a nutshell. The platitudes uttered by Obama and also by Hillary Clinton are verbal placebos for the multitudes who believe that good intentions are the most important things politicians can provide. The Democratic Party, a party to which I belonged for more than half my life, has descended into morass of unclear intentions and vague solutions. This is the ultimate triumph of style over substance and Obama is the high priest of the Democratic Party church. The credo is the buzz word "change," the catechism is public policy, the tithe is the over taxation, and the sacrament is the redistribution of wealth via the government.

p>Obama is a textbook socialist who no longer even tries to hide it. He is so confident that the American voter is both too stupid to see the dangers of his vague proposals, and/or too busy to care. If History has shown us anything, it has shown us that demagogues make very poor leaders after they have been empowered. The lesson for the multitudes will come too late if Obama is allowed to make a Jonestown out of the USA. br> -- Joseph Baum br> Garrettsville, Ohio
