 "We's" everywhere you turn.

Problem is its all very high-level rhetoric. Where's the how? where's the action plan? Its too easy to say "we can do this or that" and not offer an idea of how? Obama is very, very good at espousing his ideals in a very articulate manner...he's polished, he's intelligent, but he isn't giving any indication of how or why we will be able to accomplish these things with him at the helm.
As I watched the debate last night I heard a lot of "We's"...a lot more than I can recall in the past...seems that all the candidates were conscious of using more inclusive words.
McCain was the only candidate I heard state that he was not in this to make friends and he WOULD hold those who stood in the way of getting things done accountable...I think he essentially said he'd make sure they get the negative press they deserve. I believe he cited an example of where he went against the grain and succeeded in this regard...that's more substantial than the high level approach used by many other candidates. Now one could argue that this too is rhetoric.
