Obama supporters, why is this democrat saying the following?

Question

Charles Davilla, a retired aircraft engineer and Democrat from Downey, California, said that while Obama said some of ``the things I wanted to hear,'' he ``didn't say how he was going to accomplish them.''

Scott Walker, a 42-year-old Republican heating and air- conditioning contractor from Sharpsburg, Georgia, said he is unhappy with his party, though wary of Obama.

Before the speech, he said he was ``nervous'' that Obama would raise taxes and was unfamiliar with many of his positions.

Afterwards, Walker said he remains undecided.

``It was an excellent speech,'' he said. ``But I really wanted him to nail down what he's going to do about the issues he's running on.''

So is it safe to say, Obama gives great speeches but does not have any substance to how he is going to achieve his goals?

Answer 1

Ditto Phil!!!!!

Answer 2

He does need to give more details but conventions are more of a pep rally than a nuts and bolts discussion of policy.

Answer 3

What is the question ?

Answer 4

I watched the speech in its entirety and it made perfect sense....most speeches wont delve into "how" someone will accomplish something because that would turn into a thesis or a board-room meeting and would become very boring....not to mention, if a candidate were to tell everyone how they were going to accomplish their goals then you wouldn't really need to vote for them, would you?  You already have their plans and if you liked what you heard, you could just take the same tact.

Bush, Clinton, Bush Sr, Reagan, etc. none of them truly told you "how" they were going to do anything.  Just what they were going to do and why they were going to do it.
