I hate writing about the same old shit that everyone else is writing about but I am aggrivated to the limit. If anyone would love to give to me a good REASON why Barack Obama should be president then tell me. There is an Obama drug being distributed amoung supporters and I really want to try it to see where everyone is coming from.
Reasons that aren't actually "reasons" I don't want to hear about anymore " He is a good speaker" "He will bring change" " He is so charming." Those are not good reasons and frankly I am sick of reading about it because these are the only reasons everyone has given me in any of the Obama blogs I have read. Those are characteristics not reasons why he will be a good president.
Since I am open minded I decided to go to his site. Well you can't go to his site without creating an "account" type thing. You can by pass it on google but not going directly to his site. That for one thing is stupid. The main reason is because with the other candidates you don't have to do that to see what their plans are.
The scary thing is on youtube.com celebrities have made a song to one of his speeches. This seems good yet kind of strange and creeps me out a little bit. The song is called yes we can and is by will.i.am. I watch the video open mindedly like I have no opinion about obama. Just watch it if you haven't. It seems like a cult video to me kind of. I am not sure what it is but it is creepy. Even if they did a song like this for another candidate I would still think it is creepy.
He has no experience which even supporters have admitted but have stated "why is that a bad thing?" It is a bad thing in many ways. If you took a scubba diver scubba diving but they had no idea how to use the equipment then how will they actually make it through that experience? They will need help. I have said this many times before. When a president makes a mistake the whole country suffers.
I also watched a debate between Obama and Clinton. Before this debate I had no idea what to think about Obama. I noticed in the debate he repeated everything clinton said. I understand he is also a democrate but to repeat everything that she says?
One thing that bothers me the most is who Obama is friends with. He is friends with William Ayers who was part of the Weather Underground group. In america this anti-terriorist group set off bombs that were designed to kill officers from the millitary over here in the U.S. Ayers turned himself over to the FBI but the FBI failed to have enough evidence. He stated “I don't regret setting bombs; I feel we didn't do enough,” Ayers told the New York Times in 2001.
There is also something that seems to say I smell a rat. If you look at him he almost seems to perfect. The things he proposes, the way he carries himself. His charm that I hear people rant and rave about. I am trying to figure out wha t is wrong with everyone? A lot of people seem to be almost worshipping him. This seems kind of scary and really worries me. If this is all we can go on is charm and good speaking than I would like to take the drugs everyone else is taking to see this.
















It's called hope. A direction away from something we are used to. Problem is, it still comes from a party system that laissez-faire describes both. We need a direction that is away from corporate welfare, war-mongering, tax evading cheats. and LIARS!! Barack may be still from the corporate left. But he is wiser and better suited to change this country for the better. Question I see will the youth be wise enough to get off their haunches and help affect the future. None of the arguments the national media will bring up are going to matter in your hometown. It is going to come down to unemployment which neither side can address without universifying health care, all the manufacture jobs are gone. We will be a nation of bill collectors turning each other in for relief of your own debt.
The guy has hordes of young liberals worshiping the ground he steps on. The guy is a fraud. In the 6 years he spent in the Illinois legislature, colleagues knew him as an average guy that rarely offered bold or creative solutions to any problem.
I also hate how people are painting him as some sort of a moderate.
He is the most liberal member of the Senate, according to the National Journal:

My hope is that America wakes up and smells the damn coffee and realizes that this guy is an eloquent liar.
God Bless!
