Barack Obama, walking on air not on water!
January 28, 2008
I wasn’t going to write a post today but I decided I would any way. I’m not sure what I’ll be writing about. I think it will be about this obsession with Barack Obama. I’m not so sure that he is the next JFK or Bobby Kennedy or the next anyone. I mean his life experience is different from both of the Kennedys so his chances of being like them is probably pretty remote. I’m wondering if all the hype is just a lot of hot air. I know he has been walking on air but with all the Press kissing his garments I have yet to hear of him walking on water, yet. I have mixed feeling about Mr. Barack Obama. When the Press who supported George Bush through hell and high water is now extolling Obama like he is our next savior. (George Bush being the last Savior.) I’m a little confused. My fear is that the Press is pulling a double-cross. Supporting him, thinking that he could never be elected, to have a weak candidate to run against any loser candidate on the Republican side. The old fashion ‘angst’ shows up when the Press has yet to expose one weak spot in Mr. Obama’s personal or political life. I know he has to have some and I have a feeling that after he has the Democratic nomination we will be getting them by the bucket loads. I guess it’s paranoia from years of crooked government and liars of all shapes and sizes. Of all the people who don’t want Hilary elected, I can think of lots of big businesses like healthcare, insurance companies and the Press. As soon as they have (the Press) decided who they want to win, we will be the last to know. The ‘free Press’ is bought and paid for, anyone doubt that? I really want to support Obama but I have a feeling. You know like he is too good to be true. I know if Hilary was elected she could start governing the next day. She would be able to take control quickly. I’m afraid Mr. Obama would be like the Robert Redford character in ‘The Candidate’. Winning but unable to govern. Like Jimmy Carter. Of course, if Jimmy Carter had invaded Iran and had all the hostages killed he would be a living hero today. I set around waiting for the other shoe to drop or maybe just a shoe period. Maybe there isn’t another shoe. If there was surely Hilary would be using it against him. Well, I don’t know. I see that Obama won the South Carolina primary but there is no way in hell he will win South Carolina in the general election. I think there are a lot of pipe dreams out there. When I see that Barack Obama is for real then I will jump on the bandwagon. I want to know some stuff that makes him human not all this stuff that makes him a God. I want people to quit comparing him to dead heroes and tell us what he can do for America. I don’t think we need anymore hope. Had plenty of that over the last eight years. Not change for change’s sake. We need a man of honor who will restore honor to America.
