Here's something that makes me happy:
I'm 56, white, lower middle class....fuck it - I live in poverty. I'm bitter.

I want Obama to put the reign of the fat rich white guy on a deathwatch.

It's got to be over.

The days of the 'captains of industry' and the usual rich white fucks recreating in public office looking out for the interests of the TRULY 'elite' and their trophy wives has GOT TO END.

It's why the jobs are gone, why the unions are busted and we don't have the same fucking health care Congress seems to have without batting an eye.

I want some 'trickle up" economics. Workers get paid first, the rich pricks that sit in the penthouses get paid LAST. It should be an HONOR to work at the top, not a way to bleed the people who work for you to death.

The next politician or politician's husband who gets caught peddling influence should be SENT TO FUCKING PRISON.

Public service should be a sacred trust, not a way of getting a mainline fix on the money trough.

That's why they are scumming him every chance they get. They're scared. Fuck 'em.

Obama might make the way political "bidness" gets done, and trumpet the beginning of the end of the status quo.

And that makes me very happy.

5. Obama scared the real "Elitists" with his truth.
They(M$M, Clintons, McCain) all pooped in their pants a little.

That is why they attacked.

OK with Hillary. Other than the Democratic label, she knows how the system works and wouldn't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. This whole Bitter thing is a call to arms for the people who might be inconvenienced by real democracy. I never thought a Democrat could seem so repulsive, but her hard work and dedication have made her an object of my deepest disdain and revulsion.

16. You read my mind Cliffordu
People don't go after a so-so candidate with gusto. They go after the one that worries them. Damn right, they're scared.

Ol Gramps McSame isn't even going to know what hit him. His boring, free ride is about to come to an end. I can hardly wait for his first temper tantrum! Folks are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

18. When Obama debates McCain there will be a gasp of recognition
from EVERY republican in the United States within the first 3 minutes.

They will recognize the fact that the game is over.

He's going to hammer McCain into the floor. Game. Set. Match.
