Are you really surprised?
So Obama's in favor of the FISA bill and is pushing for faith-based bullshit initiatives. Wow, way to differentiate yourself from the Republicans. Or, you know, the current administration. The Obamafreaks are flipping out.

See, this is part of the reason I slightly preferred Hillary Clinton for a while. (And yet I voted for Obama at the last minute. Go figure.) Sure, she's not super-liberal, but we know what we're going to get. Between that and the rampant Clinton-hate, we would be able to keep close tabs on the next president. And boy does the executive branch need some close watching.

I was right about Obama. Go me. Being cynical has its ups - no crushing disappointment on my part.

I knew the media would pit Obama and Hillary against each other. ("The nigger or the bitch?") And thus minorities against each other. (Blacks? Worst-organized minority. Ever. And women refuse to stick together these days. So of course it works.)

I made a wild guess at the very beginning that Obama would get the nomination, by asking myself, "who does America hate more? Blacks or women?"

I knew Obama would be a media darling only until he got the nomination. Then it would promptly turn against him and start favoring McCain again.

I knew Obama was a politician. A really good politician. Alas, that typically means he's lying through his teeth, no matter how honest his face or how nice his words.

I know Americans are stupid. Don't argue this point with me, you know it's true. We're going to have a third Bush term President McCain.

On the very slim possibility that Obama manages to get into office...
...he'll spend all his time cleaning up after Bush.
...Republicans and media will blame him for the recession, and claim he did nothing during his 4-8 years.
...he gets assassinated. Or at least someone tries it.
...we get no universal healthcare because Democrats are ball sacks.
...his "reaching across the aisle" looks suspiciously like "bending over backwards."
...it's Hillary Clinton's fault. Just because it always is.
...blacks get mad because he's not black enough.
...everyone else gets mad because he's too black.
...he gets held to ridiculously higher standards just because he's a black man, in order to set him up to fail.
...we learn just how racist America is.
...Republicans and media try to sell him as "Worst President Ever," as they do with Carter. (Because Reagan is the best ever, right? America sure loves having a crappy economy and being ass-backwards on every social issue.)

I would say this is depressing, but it's pretty much the usual.

I really hate people.

(Oh, and don't you love it that only Republicans are allowed to be war heroes? John Kerry? Swiftboat him! Wesley Clark? Let's just gloss over that fact! If you bought this "Clark is swiftboating McCain!" bull, you're an idiot. Twice as much, considering the irony on McCain's part. If you don't get that, three times an idiot.)
