No, Maybe I WILL post a little bit about Barack:




"Nobody can read Obama’s books (which, it is worth noting, he wrote himself) or listen to him speak without realizing that this is a thoughtful, pragmatic, and prudent man. It gives me comfort just to think that after eight years of George W. Bush we will have a president who has actually read the Federalist Papers."

-- Wick Allison, former Editor-in-Chief, The National Review

THIS. THIS. THIS.

I watched this earlier and it is so, so reassuring. I want everyone to watch it.

Look. Dude. He's smart and confident and dedicated. He's The Real Thing. He gets it. He fucking respects what America stands for and wants us to be better and he has a goddamn plan.

That people seem to not get it STILL drives me batty.

Yes. I can't tell you how mad I was at my parents this last week when they told me that rich people shouldn't have to pay more taxes because then they will stop trying to make money. But then, they'll vote for whoever James Dobson tells them to.

I guarantee, if I sent this to them, they'd send me an email about his secret muslimness and association with Ayers.

I actually had an uncle tell me that some Saudi guy paid for Obama's entire college and career and is somehow orchestrating the whole campaign? And that it would be the October surprise.

I hate my family.

I shouldn't ever say this, but maybe you should encourage them not to vote in this election. (Says the girl wearing a snarky t-shirt about how not voting means you don't get to bitch.)

His association with Ayers is quite real, and damning.

Obama actually has a plan? But the TV! It tells me all he can do is make speeches! You mean it lied?? *shock*

No, seriously though, that's a brilliant ad. Maybe if I pass it on to my co-workers they'll stop their ridiculous "well, yeah, but it's not like he's said how he's going to change things" arguments.

Do it. You should also print out the like, 20 page book full of nothin' but plans.

America doesn't want a president who's read the Federalist papers. They want someone they can go moose hunting with. :P

Sigh. You gotta harsh my squee with reality.
