Obama Now, or else

I am now convinced that Barack Obama must be President of the Uinited States. Period. There is no continuation of this statment. This is a man who can inspire people. we have not had such a president since 1960 (some may argue that 1980 held such a president, incuding the aformentioned candidate, but I can't get onj board wuth that.) I understand that JFK's daughter will be writing an op-ed for the NYTimes entitled "A President Like my Father" and I could not agree more.

For those of us in our 20's and 30's we only know of Kennedy as this great Democratic President that was assasinated and therefore imortalized. But the reality is that Johnson was more liberal domestically, obviously he held similar forgien policy ideas as his political decendent George Bush (no good ideas come from Texas), but Kennedy was a coallitiona builder. This is the the first step to Statesmanship, which is the foundation of great leadership.

Of all the candidates in the field, Republican or Democrat, Barack Obama is the only statesman. Don't even think of saying McCain. The man is batshit fucking crazy, and once he is given the power of the presidency, we will all be well and trully fucked. Not to mention, he is an economic moron. All McCain knows is kill, kill, kill. I acknowledge his service to our country, thank him for it, but he can not be the president of the united states. He is too untable, too old, and does not have the right credentials. I mean really, a Senator will be the next President, sould it really be the chairman of the Comittee on Nativie Americvan Affairs?

Barack Obama makes people feel good. that is somethjing tht has been missing from this country for 12 to 14 years. Isn't is time we had a president taht did that for us? Of course I just watched him beat Clinton by close to 30%, so this could all be euphoric, but I really belive that this country will die without him. No other president will do. It's him, or we will suffer the same fate as Rome - and I for one am not a fan of bugary.

Libritarian Assinineism to come later, it's just not as relivant as it use to be.

Because Karl Asked

Sorry i missed the Caucus, I was watching it happen, but not commenting. Fankly there isn't much for me to be angry about...which is different, for me. My candidate is winning, and should win big tonight as well.

I've been telling Republicans they were going to nominate Mike Huckabee for about 9 months, and it looks like thats whats going to happen. There is still a shot of Guliani and McCain - but the more I see John McCain, the more I see a bitter, old man. And when I say old, I mean OLD. This guy looks like he will tip over at any second. I believe he would be 2 years older than Reagan was when he first took office. Look, he's just too old.

I feel a little bad for the Clinton's. No I don't. I pity them. There is no way to win now. Hillary's natural negatives are too high for her to ever go negative and succeed, and there is no way to stop Obama with negative campaigning anyway - though I know the GOP will try. You actually have to have a better message to beat Obama, and you have to deliver it better. Or you could restrict the national vote to the white counties in Mississippi and all of Utah.

It really does feel exciting, like being an active part of history. Most of the history in my life time has been passive history - disasters and terrorist attacks, the ending of a long cold war, etc. Barack Obama is, in my opinion, the Kennedy of my generation. Baby Boomers hate that, because they are arrogant, selfish brats who; though they maybe sixty, still act like the 17 year olds they still wish they were. I for one am ready to say goodbye to the Most Selfish Generation.

So if you don't know anything about Barack Obama's positions, please take a few minutes to find out before he gets attacked with lies like any self respecting front runner. The real secert of Barack is that he's really no tthat Liberal.
