Love you man! Yeah I feared Obama would be like Tony Blair, even though I hoped it wouldn't be the case. Professional politicians are always appealing to some imaginary "middle ground" instead of what they honestly think is right and true. In the short term this is convenient, but in the long term they end up betraying their own convictions and therefore their party and country. Have the balls to carry through Obama!
Well if Blair is anything to go by, he won 3 elections by being right of his constituents but now he is the most despised Prime Minister in history and his party is unelectable. Why? The progressives don't like it because inequality grew and he backed numerous wars. The right wing don't like him because he raised taxes. (although mainly on the low/middle earners so not to upset the rich) . He ended up being the worst of both worlds. I hope Obama pulls up before the Democrats go the same way.
As do I my new friend..as do I. I must admit I'm a bit frightened at the prospect of the same old shit again. Obama grew up an atheist and I'm just terribly surprised at his vehement stand on christianity...
You know what I think, honestly? I honestly think he's been treatened with his family's life if he doesn't straighten up and fly right as they say. He's been changing his mind at 2 per week...I'm getting very pissed at the man and I now think it's time to focus on Michelle...
I can only say it must be one difficult job to please not only the nation, but the world. At the same time, you have to operate with true intentions to have any integrity. Piss off the stoners and he won't be re-elected.
