James Antle's column is based on a false premise: issues matter. Forty years of lousy public schooling, an in-the-tank-for-Obama mainstream media and the exponentially increasing distractions of modern technology have turned this election in one of the least issue-oriented in modern times.

p>The media have referred to Barack Obama as a "rock star." When was the last time a rock star ever had to offer nuanced explanations for his behavior? br> -- Arnold Ahlert br> Boca Raton, Florida /p>

I am suffering whiplash and tennis neck at the same time watching and listening to Obama.

Like a spectator at a tennis match I look left as BO serves one over the net, suffer whiplash as he amazingly jumps the net to corral the pronouncement on a bounce, then look right as BO lobs it back over the net. My head whips back and forth in amazement at this verbal prowess. All the while, Reverend Jesse is standing and watching on the sidelines, ready to cut off any errant balls. Yet for me, however, the score still remains: Nothing to Love. This, despite the swooning in the stands from the hack media applauding every shift and turn.

No Middle America football for Obama. That would mean having to get down and scrim. Nope, Barack prefers his cool tennis whites, his sweater looped and tied just so around his shoulders, mantle fashion, crown sweatband and tennis scepter. I mean racket. Chicago style.
