US: Obama speech fails to stir enthusiasm of values voters

[Chrisytianity Today UK] 30 Aug 2008--Family Research Council president Tony Perkins criticised the Illinois senator for speaking about his many plans to change America, but with no details. Perkins also noted that Obama spent a significant portion of his speech criticising presumptive Republican nominee John McCain and President George W Bush.

“Barack Obama speaks somewhat poetically, but there is no substance,” Perkins said in a Focus on the Family special radio broadcast. “And I thought he was tremendously lacking in substance and seemed, again, very defensive in the way he spoke. He defended his patriotism, constantly attacking John McCain.”

While more than 80,000 applauded and cheered the Illinois senator from the football stadium, conservative voters were left dissatisfied.
