I do believe that just about sums it up. He is not speaking to my heart right now or at all during this season. He is not linking what he wants to do, as with the transportation example you've given, with how to do it. Nor relaying how when it's done the results are naturally good like in Harlem.

I just don't think, with all his years in government, he knows how to accomplish what he proposes. I certainly don't know and need him to tell me how, not feed me what I know and want.

All those pesky little details

Thanks for pointing that out.
