6. The apples and oranges game
Edited on Tue Jul-29-08 04:36 PM by politicasista
It's been played for a while now (a likely will continue until November). I like Obama, but the Messiah talk, is becoming a turn off. I like "shrewd politician" better. Obama is not going to wave a magic wand and make things all better in January of 2009.

I think I will quietly support him by lurking at the urban blogs, and focus on other issues/things. It won't be less, but just not as vocal as GDP.

Amazing, Obama gets praised for saying nothing and taking the high road, while Kerry gets slammed for saying something and "failing" to take the low road (despite the over and over counter arguments). It's actually, stunning. People still believe the media spin rather than what really happened. But as long as they aren't talking about a favorite candidate/liberal progressive, it must be true! Sometimes are just, well, baffling.

Anyway, if the ignorance, lack of respect, apples and oranges game is going to be played, then I don't want no part of it.
