obamania? where?
with 5 days left to go nyc is very very nervous. yes obama is “predicted” to win. but this is america. where anything can go wrong. where “murphy’s law” was created and tested. from my biggest fear, of obama winning on the 4th and getting shot on the 5th, to some florida-esque rerun of another election gone wrong. yes those who hate him, hate him. and they don’t live around here. they live far far away, “clinging to their religion and their guns”. the scary thing is, they actually HAVE guns!
a black president with a muslim middle name? is this for real? are we seriously on the brink of a new era in history? i mean we can be as condecendingly unamerican as we like, but surely the president IS the most powerful man in the world? so how about that..
what strikes me the most as u watch mc cain or palin being interviewed, is just how, well for lack of a better word, “ignorant” they APPEAR to be. I mean, u can tell me that the left leaning media is spinning things. but how can u “spin” the words that comes out of someone’s mouth? they are, after all, saying these things.
it is so scary, that almost a half of this countries population want to vote for them. almost HALF!
i just cannot seem to understand it..
the next question is.. when obama wins.. will he really be able to turn this sewage loaded barge of a country around? there is a lot of momentum, in a country this big. and i am sure obama had to bow to a lot of people to get to where he is. i mean, sure, he is a man of principles. but lets face it, big america is big america. they dont care who gets elected. it just goes on and on.
so is it naive to dream that obama could change the way america treats the world??
probably.
but if u can’t dream.. then whats the point..
Well said. I do have the same question.
I believe that it appears to be better to have Obama than McCain, but when it comes to the bigger picture I think he wouldn’t make much of a difference.
Obama might be a man of principles, but still he is a part of a large and old system that has been around for a quite a some time. The people who are comfortable emerged in it will not him change things as easily as one wish…

Is it just APPU’s imagination or was there some real chemistry between Rachel Maddow and Barrack Obamna? The eyes and smiles were flirty.. and if you watch him, he sometimes lets his eyes drift down and struggles to look her in the eye.
yeah.. i too feel that the “large and old system” maybe too much of an unstoppable juggernaut for anyone, even obama, to control.. well this is where that leap of faith would come in!
