I'm Waiting for Obama to Part the Red Sea

[DemocracyInaction]

Do you realize it yet? Has it hit you yet? Talk about a miracle! Obama took on the Clintons who were the fist of power in the Dem Party and who are cohorts of big money interests in this nation-- and he beat them. He beat the system. I think that alone is the biggest blast of "hope" I've seen in a long time because this country has been in such a death lock of the connected and the powerful that makes sure you are "one of them" or you are not allowed to exist is politics. I wonder if a lot of super rich people are getting a bit nervous that that "damn populism" might actually take effect this time. That scares them to death.

2. I wouldn't go that far. He's just a smart guy. A really really really really really really

really really really really really smart guy.

4. The GOP is scared to death. They've been trying for 15 years

to do what Obama did in 16 months....and he did it without laying in the gutter.

The people are back in! :thumbsup: Party hacks are now out! :thumbsdown:

5. Yes, Obama did do it . . . but to be fair many people began this process in the Dean race . . .

a way was seen for oridinary citiziens to get together to support a candidate against big $$$ ---
they didn't make it then because of the tremendous attacks on Dean ---

We have to be sure that doesn't happen again ---

6. As close to a true grass-roots presidential campaign as most of us

will ever see. Clinton starts off with a wide lead over the field.
From nowhere comes a guy who isn't well known, is black in a race-conscious society, has a Mid-eastern sounding name when we are at war with a country over there. Essentially he starts with two strikes against him. He gets the kitchen sink thrown at him. And he wins.
Now he takes his campaign against a well-oiled smear machine that controls most of the major news outlets in the country and a man who has almost infinite moneyt. I like Obama's chances in this one.

7. He'll have to get some work done on greehouse gasses first

Otherwise the sea level might be too deep.

8. Obama showed us we could have done it ourselves all along.

But just to be sure we now need to beat Clinton & McSame in the GE.

She is not going to Quit until Barack is defeated.

Its not about her, the votes or the presidency. Its about the oligarchy now.
