"The only thing that Obama seems to inspire in people is to vote for him. A truly inspirational person inspires people to want to make the world a better place. '
Wait--what?
Otherwise uninspired people see him as a person who has the ability to change things, so they turned out in droves to vote for him. Constituencies that otherwise are notorious for not voting. His message is "Yes WE can", and people are buying into it. Voting is one of of the most powerful and fundamental rights we have in this country. A vote can change the world.
How is getting people to vote not inspiring people to actively go out and change the world?
And Jerby, about that snakes on a plane metaphor, well, people came, they saw, and the Obama supporters are well on their way to conquering McCain in the general.
Marc, I can't get over such lame logic... you don't have any damn clue what the average Obama supporter does or doesn't do with their time. Being for Obama or Hillary, being Republican or Democrat--none of this is an automatic decider on how altruistic you are.
