Why Obama can't win..

The more I think about it, Obama can't win. He's smart, he has vision,
he's a uniter, but he can't win.

It seems that American politics is not as some would say a real test of
democracy. No, it is a charade pushed on the public by corporate
America. The winner in any contest for president is the person who
corporate America owns. I don't see Obama selling out, so sorry Barak,
you can't be president.

On the other hand, the Republicans have outlived their usefulness, so
they have to go. Now we come to Hillary, Yale graduate (that's a
requirement to be corporate America's president) the best that corporate
America can offer. Hey, she is a new product, a new model, a first, but
down deep she is just another corporate shill, well marketed, for the
public to accept as ruler.

Such is American politics, and so goes the nation. See you after the
elections and don't say I didn't tell you so.

No, I don't work or write for them, except maybe an occasional letter to the editor. Good article though.

At this point I'm not debating whether or not he can win, because he simply HAS to win.

I know he must...

I also know what is going on with the money people. He's not part of the 'good ole boy' network, and I don't think the country is ready to vote a black president. I'll support his cause because I can't stand Hillary.

Still, a whole lot of people want a whole lot of change, and that's what he best represents.

We shall see.

Hilly-Roddy is the candidate Republicans are hoping Democrats will nominate for president; and the stupid limousine-liberal Eastern Seaboard schmucks who comprise the Democratic Party elite will probably comply. The closed-minded cretins of the Midwest and South will forestall Obama's being nominated; and that leaves ... nobody worth voting for.

Dean reminds me too much of Blair the Lap Dog: all surface, no substance. Across the aisle, I'd have voted for Powell — until that day at the U.N. when he placed loyalty to a fascist over ethics and morals.

That was Powell's "Dukakis in a tank" moment of complete failure. At least the Dukakis publicity fiasco was funny!
