One part of Obama’s record of achievement: http://www.democraticcentral.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=1565. Also, I think that the reason why many Obama supporters ARE Obama supporters is because he speaks out about the distractions and divisiveness of our current political dialogue and to see him possibly derailed by such a divise distraction is just a slap in the face of what they hoped would change in this election cycle.

You watch Clinton if elected President do any of the things she has promised. She is a proven lier, and will pander to the republican party. She is telling big whopper lies just to get elected and counting on simple minds, such as possibly yours, to do so. She is right now pandering with the enemy, and you think she cares about you!!?? Ignorance, is what she is counting on the most, to win the election. It worked for, G.W.Bush, and it will work for her too, no doubt.

Lord. Carol, Excitable Andy, and the Gen Y twit need to get a clue. Barry has yet to show that he has a grasp of anything, other than his own self-importance. Would any of you care to post a copy of his “record of achievement?” Thought not. That leaves us with judging his character by examining his comments and associates. His comments indicate that he is woefully unfamiliar with cold realities of the outside world, and his associates, thus far, appear to be corrupt, radical nutjobs. Barry is a classic empty-suit liberal, spouting various crypto-socialist schemes that will “save America.” But feel free to crawl back into you hole after the election. I prefer voters with a modicum of sense and intelligence.

It’s a bigger issue than whether Obama wins or not. It’s an issue of whether the reduction of our election process to the influence of numbingly repetitive sound bites makes an individual’s attempt to effect the process pointless. Does anyone really think that Reverend Wright is more important than the recent escalation of violence in Iraq, or the utterly ignored Pentagon-placed “independent” military analysts on our “news” shows, or any number of important/frightening issues that actually ought to influence our votes more than the rants of an angry black preacher?(who by the way, said nothing different than Ron Paul in terms of “chickens coming home to roost”–look it up, all you deeply offended patriots). To proclaim that it’s juvenile not to feel fairly desperate about the stupidity of what constitutes our political “dialogue” is juvenile in itself. This is not about entertainment. This is not an episode of “Survivor America” where the candidate with the cleverest maneuvers deserves to win. Our country, and the world, is in trouble on so many levels, and here we sit in America worried about which acquaintance of which candidate said what, which candidate does the best job of pretending to be Joe Working Class, and which candidate is the most patriotic. If we really are that stupid, then I say that bowing out of the political process is the only sanity-saving thing to do. Why continue to beat one’s head against the wall…or the better, although overused, analogy would be, why keep rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic? May as well just pour a stiff drink, find a comfy chair, and watch the ship go down.
