For the first time in my life, I saw someone with a “John McCain” bumper sticker.
I was sitting in an airport in North Carolina, listening to CNN blare on and on about John Edwards sex sandal (what the hell is that?) when I saw a “hip” college cat like myself typing away on his Mactop, which is where the bumper sticker was affixed. I suppose that’s a good thing, especially since the election is only three months away. What surprised me, other than the fact that he has at least one supporter, was that this guy didn’t seem like a douche bag. But, assuming he didn’t have the sticker for satirical purposes, he was a douche bag (because of the sticker).
Which brings me to my next point - McCain is an idiot. Even though I’ve been sheltered in Austin with faith-hope-change everywhere, you don’t even need a college degree to realize that McCain is a jackass. The way he talks is ridiculous: “My friends…” Why does he start off every speech with “My friends…?”
Obama is going to win this election. Hands down. No contest. Even CNN says he is up 46 percent to McCain’s 41 percent. Who cares that he is black and has no experience and no one is questioning how someone who spent two years in the Illinois State Legislature with nothing good in the US Senate can become president. He’ll win. No contest.
He has wooed everyone. He’s more charismatic and smarter than McDumbass. Why would anyone vote for McCain? One hundred more years in Iraq? War with Iran? More civil liberties lost? More economic crap holes? Jeez!
Sure Obama might not be the best but at least we’ll be breaking some barriers when he’s elected. It’ll widen the pool so that four years from now, we’ll have a really good candidate.
Also, everyone forgets that the President can do very little without the approval of Congress (unless, of course, Congress decides to break the “law of the land” and hand the President a blank check to go to war for seven years - in the wrong country!).
This is an amazing election and it will be remembered for years to come. More than the Dick-Kennedy debates when TV started to become influential. More than Reagan’s speeches. More than that one moment where the guy on the left hand-side said “You’re no Jack Kennedy.”
Now if only CNN and FOXNews would get off their butts and do some work without resorting to turning politics into sports commentary. Whatever happened to reporting?
