Pablum from the president-elect

There is a report at the link below titled: Words Matter: Pablum from the President-Elect.

Every day this week, Obama has held a press conference to introduce new members of his team. In each instance, Obama has said . . . not a whole lot.
Here’s a sampling from his opening statements:

Monday: “In the next few years, the choices that we make will help determine the kind of country and world that we will leave to our children and our grandchildren.”

Tuesday: “In the next few years, the decisions we make, about how to educate our children, will shape our future for generations to come.”

Wednesday: “Our wide open spaces are not only a blessing to be enjoyed; they are the foundations of a brighter future.”

Thursday: “We need to restore and renew those rules today, so that every American from Wall Street to Main Street can have the chance to prosper once more.”

Then the thankful appointees do their best imitations of Oscar winners (“Thank you, Mr. President-elect”; “ I wish to thank you, President-elect Obama”).

The report lists questions to which Mr. Obama answers with words. Words, but that’s about all. Just words.

Does this mean the media is finally realizing that Obama’s message is mostly void of wisdom, facts and ideas? His pronouncements are full of words that really don’t say much.

It is interesting that ABC would wait until after the election to tell us what Barack Hussein Obama is really like.

Is buyers remorse setting in before the inauguration?
