It isn't crap. Obama captured the racist vote and got elected. What is
hard to understand about that.

Was Obama a war hero? Nope.
Did Obama do anything really notable before being elected? Nope.
Has Obama ran his own sucessful business? Nope
Any background in economics? Nope.
His tenature in the state riddled with corruption. Yep.

So how did he get the vote?

He got a lot of the vote because his opponent was just this side of
senility, and his opponent's running mate was and is an uninformed
moron.

I do not count service to the country as a negative in a president.
Usually people who believe having prior military experience is a
detriment are themselves cowards and selfish ignorant types. No balls.

Actually, it is a hugely positive to have military service. Less ivory
tower idealism gets to theater if the president has a clue. And Obama is
clueless.

So you think Obama, never raised in American until 12, knows little of
US armed forces, makes a suitable leader of the the US war machine?

Do you let your kids boat without training too?


I don't believe McCain's "military experience" counts for much in the
21st century, and he wussed out big time in torture, considering he
was tortured.

The biggest albatross around his neck may have been Sarah Palin. While
she motivated "the base" of the GOP, she's such a ninny, she turned off
a lot of voters. As she will in 2012 if she is dumb enough to make a go
of it.

Liberals have more excuses than hades has sinners.

At last McCain knows what he is asking of his troops. Sure beats the
idealistic big mouth...

Sarah was only a liability as democrat smear and FUD went into full
swing. Big bucks behind Obama because McCain might have done some real
corruption cleaning.

One observation about politics that stands out, always consider where
the moeny is coming from, and how much of it. Usually, when you get a
back bench green senator getting the money and support Obama got, it is
because he is the chosen pony. They fear the other guy for the last
thing DC wants is someone with integrity looking at the books.

Have the same problem up here in Canada. While there are more parties,
it boils down to two. If I can chose with money which ones becaome the
party leaders, I in fact don't have to give a damn how the public votes,
I have my man in office.

To a large degree, party politicis makes democracy a ruse. Your two
ponies are selected for you, like it or not.
