Doubtful on Obama
Many of my peers are very excited about Barry Hussein Obama’s Presidential campaign. Beyond the fact that he’s black, handsome, and a good speaker, what is so exciting about him? I fail to see it. He talks the talk about hope, integrity, and change. Listening to and swallowing this kind of language whole is how we (the American people) elected our last President.
My experience with the Obama campaign is exactly the same as that I’ve had with the last two Presidential campaigns - impersonal requests for money money money and … oh yes, a vote. This doesn’t bother me per say, as I conclude that this is normal national campaigning. That said, where is the transcendental political experience Obama is supposed to deliver? What exactly is so great about this guy?
What is this “change” Obama will supposedly bring? Colonel Patrick Lang says it best:
We have been listening to this “change” talk since the first Clinton campaign for president. At that time the pop music of the 70s, was made into a clarion call for the realization of the supposed goals of the cultural revolution of the 60s. Then there was much the same kind of talk in the election campaign that gave us GWB. We were told that a revolutionary reversion to Christian morality and small town values would follow upon the election of George Bush. What we got instead was the “K” Street Project and the Jacobin driven war for Westernization and security in the Middle East.
