The Obama supporters that I know.

For all the Obama supporters that worked their asses off in 2004. I wish that I could meet you.


One of the reasons that I have so much trouble buying into the whole Obama phenomenon is because every Obama supporter friend that I have did not participate in the 2004 election. While I was working my ass off walking precincts and making calls for Kerry, every single one of the Obama supporters I know was either completely ignorant or getting their political experience by watching John Stewart. All of a sudden it is important to them. We had a chance to stop the Bush bullshit four years ago and they stood by and did NOTHING.

I apologize to the Obama people here who were active, but I have not yet met a single one of you in the real world. I am constantly surrounded by so called "Independents for Obama" and "Never cared before but now I am for Obama " people and it makes me sick. Where the fuck were all of you when it really could have made a difference?!

I was against the Iraq War from the beginning. I called the WMD bluff when so many even at DU weren't willing. I worked tirelessly for John Kerry in 2004. I am sorry if I can't relate to the newcomers who just recently realized that elections make a difference. We aren't going to change the entire American political system. It's dirty, influenced heavily by lobbyists and corporations, and often doesn't represent the will of the people. The best that we can do is elect someone that will create a few more jobs, get some people health insurance, and create a little more peace in the world. Anybody who "hopes" for anything else is in for a very unpleasant surprise.
