It’s been pretty darn easy of late to get sick of and tired of US presidential politics. Seems like we’ve been in a four year campaign ever since Bush/Cheney/Rove stole a second election in 2004. And let’s face a grim fact here; one didn’t have to be much of a genius to predict that four more years of Bush would be a disaster in every way imaginable. This crew is so incompetent they could turn honey into crap just by standing too close to it. And that’s just about the gist of what’s happened. Clinton left them eight unprecedented years of peace and prosperity, not to mention a huge surplus, and what we have now can only be described as a huge pile of poo poo. Talk about the gang that couldn’t shoot straight, well, except for Cheney who on a controlled quail hunt managed to miss the quail and instead shot his friend, in the face. Sorta like trying to shoot fish in a barrel, and missing. How typical of this administration.
Personally, I am so sick and tired of American politics in general, and the current presidential election in particular, that I don’t know why I even bother to write anymore. For over eight years our like minded crew have been tapping out stories about republican hypocrisy, scandals, screw ups, lawbreaking and just about everything else we once considered anti-American to the point that our fingers are bleeding. Yet after a perfect eight days by Obama overseas under the scrutiny of the MSM and rest of the entire world press, and with McCain suffering foot in mouth gaffe after gaffe with his $520 Ferragamo’s, the so-called national polls are calling the race by only a few points in Obama’s favor.
In a normal world Obama would be ahead by double digits, triple digits even, but this world has been anything but normal the past seven and a half years. Obama: smart, articulate, good looking, nice family, with a message Americans have been waiting to hear. McCain: he’s a worse speaker than Bush if that’s possible. You can put lipstick on him, dress him up in fancy loafers, herd him out in front of loyal repub crowds and he still comes off as a complete dufus. Even the rare sane repubs are questioning his performance which only makes me wonder why this race is so close.
If Barack Obama was white and his name was John Smith, is it possible he’d be ahead by 35 points? Of course it’s a race issue. Barak Obama’s skin color and name shouldn’t be under scrutiny, the intelligence of the American voting populace is the real issue.
