"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." - Barack Obama

- What change are we discussing, here? Could you be more specific about your stance on political issues?

"If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress. " - Barack Obama

- That was... pretty. But what kind of progress are we looking to make by continuing down said path? And what do you mean by the right path, anyway?

"It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today. " - Barack Obama

- I get the point, but is this a speech or a sermon? Rhetoric-laden speeches full of hope-inspired prose but devoid of any actual plans for change can't win an election. Can they!?

"Today we are engaged in a deadly global struggle for those who would intimidate, torture, and murder people for exercising the most basic freedoms. If we are to win this struggle and spread those freedoms, we must keep our own moral compass pointed in a true direction." - Barack Obama

- Yeah... moral compass... true direction... refer to above comments from me.

"We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible." - Barack Obama

- And how are you going to do this? Give the people a plan of what you'd do to ensure these promises. Stop relying on your ability to craft cute little sayings and metaphors into your speeches. Most of all, stop assuming that America buys into your pretty words with no policies behind them. Oh, wait. You're ahead in the polls? Perhaps I overestimated your audience... Well, at the very least, I'd still prefer you over Hillary.
