Obama's stump speech includes much of the typical Democratic message - more spending on heath care and education, energy independence and an emphasis on improving relations with other countries, often in words that differ little from what John Kerry said in 2004. ("How can it be that we Americans spend more money than any nation on earth [on health care] and yet we still have 46 million uninsured?")
