Breaking News For Immediate Release:
Hot off the heels of his record setting convention speech, presidential candidate and teen heartthrob Barack Obama has apparently topped himself. Reports out of the Mayo Clinic indicate that Obama has cured cancer! Said the silver-tongued Obama in typical humble fashion, "I just seem to have a way to get people to hope for change." Irving Rosenbaum, M.D., oncologist at the Clinic, confirmed the startling results: "Obama was able to completely cure cancer by inspiring hope in 9 of 10 patients. We assume the unrecovered patient was a conservative."
Upon leaving the Clinic, Obama stated that his next project is to end world hunger with some loaves and fish.

I want so much to join in with you on this, as I know we both have similar feelings on Obama. However, I am just too astounded by the disgusting and undue praise that is being heaped on Obama - HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING YET.
Jesus Christ, he's just another politician that will have four years to struggle in Congress, fuck up all his big plans, and leave quietly. When will the average American stop with this charade that, even though we aren't given a real choice in the election, we can at least chose the better candidate. What a sham.
The more I hear these dunderheads shower praise on this guy (again, he hasn't done anything yet!) the more I realize that the illusion of democracy in this nation is alive and well. It's all about what riles the public and allows them to feel as if their choice ACTUALLY MEANT SOMETHING.
Have fun with your election, folks. I'll vote for the local and state stuff, but I'm giving the big middle finger to the charade of the presidential election.
Amen brother! That so many people are so utterly convinced of their choice in this election just shows how desperate people are to have someone do anything. But, as you correctly point out, there is NO democracy in this country. In a true democracy we wouldn't be limited to only two candidates and our "representatives" wouldn't be able to fill bills with all kinds of pork that the electorate never gets to vote on. Sham is the best word for it.
