I prefer to think of it as "mocking".

It's not about "inspiring", it's about courting the fashion industry to promote your brand. I'd call it a message, but he doesn't have one. I'm sorry, but if you can't see how silly this strategy is, you must own the "Sex & The City" DVD box set.

Or anyone who has listened to his speeches, seen him change position after position or tried to pin him down on any issue other than "change".

McCain is a terrible candidate running an atrocious campaign, even when compared to Mike Dukakis and Bob Dole. Obama should be blowing him out like the US just did to Spain, yet this race is within the margin of error. What does that tell you about Obama's appeal?
