Obamatopia

I find it funny that so many people have so many opinions of either side when all we are just conduits(some easily manipulated) for opinion based rhetoric, spun as far is it can be spun, and then some.

I did not vote for either and I'm so glad about this. Although I do lean Republican, I would have voted for Obama if I didn't see Clinton coming(again) and he wasn't so green.

I also find it funny that Republicans are often called war machines yet wasn't it a Democrat who dropped not one but TWO atomic bombs on hundreds of thousands of innocent people incinerating them where they stood, leaving just their shadows on the pavement? "The Buck Stops Here." Yeah right Harry, tell that to the millions of Japanese still suffering from the consequences of a Democrat who used the worst judgment in U.S. history to date. We think Bush is bad? Good god, search Hiroshima-such an evil abuse of power. And if I remember correctly, didn't Clinton spread his war wings while in office as well? Humm and why didn't Truman step in sooner with Hitler? Are Democrates suppoed to be the better humanitarians? Bull sheet! Not at that time in our history tjat's for darn sure.

Humm.. do I feel more safe with a Democrat in office? Ah no! Do I feel safe with Republican in the white house? Ah no! Do I feel safe with an inexperienced unknown man in the whitehouse? Ah no! Were we safe with Kennedy in the white house? ah no! Cuba Missile Crisis. Where we safe with LBJ in the whitehouse? Ah no! He thought the Russian were about to attack after Kennedy was gone and ordered our troops to full alert. What would that be in our alert system today? Code whatever?

MY long point was... It doesn't matter what party is in office. What matters is time, fate, quest of power and stupid humans. <presidents that is.

So pardon me if I don't subscribe to Camelot-ish post Obama win mentality. I can't be manipulated by the media unlike most of the world.

I hope Obama does well.

P.S. My father a staunch Southern Democrat, my mother a staunch Northern Repubican. They taught me to look beyond ideology for the greater good. We haven't done this in decades. I guess we've been to busy wonder how Britney is doing, who's Paris's next BFF or who's the next top model?
