Let The Buyer Beware.

There are new facets to Mr. Obama being discovered each and every day. He is very new to the National Political scene and he is, only now, being properly vetted through public scrutiny, unlike his opponents who have been on the national political scene much longer.

It is not unlike the herd mentality of some to, impetuously, chase after every new and popular product to hit the market without doing proper research. An example of this was the much hyped car, the Yugo of the mid 1980s. A retrospective analysis by it's owners, post purchase, could be fairly characterized as brutal.

The problem was that it was brand new on the market and no one had the proper information to make a proper judgment regarding it's suitability, all they had was the hype. This "pump-and-dump" concept can also extend to politicians.

The concept of "What you see is what you get" can be readily applied to any purchasing situation, including purchases made with a vote, however, just what are we seeing? Obama is still filling in the wire-frame of his political life.

The next term of office for the President of the United States is going to be a very critical time, too critical for post sale buyers remorse.

We must all do the country a favor and know our candidate before we vote.
