Obama is the epitome of a politician - he never says anything about how to effect change, has no clue about either domestic or foreign issues, is extremely polished with both his rhetoric and his appearance. He is associated with and probably controlled by utter scum. He is a puppet without substance. It's a disgrace that he is one of my senators. Nevertheless I don't think he will win the election even if he gets the nomination, and we will be stuck with mcwar instead... mcwar could be worse for our country than obama, though it's hard to tell at this point, I can't see that deep into the depths of the abyss. Either would be horrible, I can't believe I'd rather see hitlary or the huckster but I am starting to think even rommel would have been better- our country is going to pick the worst of the worst... if only the neocons can keep the economy from crashing before January, then one of these people will be to blame, but I don't think bush can pull that rabbit out of his hat, the economy will crash first and then the horseman will ride in to 'save the day' - again now I see how the great (soon to be called 'first') depression was created.
