Notice the specifics (or lack therof)

You know, it is ads like these that drive me crazy. This is an ad Obama aired during the Olympics. Notice the complete lack of details. The first 15 seconds only talk about "hands" while praising the american worker (how groundbreaking!)

In the next 15 seconds, we learn the following:


He has a new vision - "fast tracking alternative fules"
Can anyone explain to me exactly what this means?

He will "create 5 million jobs developing home-grown energy technologies"
What are "home-grown energy technologies" and, unless these jobs are to be government jobs, how exactly would he "create" them?

He then closes by saying "America's future is in our hands"
Gee...thanks - that is so helpful

Why the American people are willing to accept such fluff is beyond me.
