Regardless, although slightly hyperbolic, this is a pretty fair parody. I wish SNL would do one like this. Now THAT would be funny (and effective). @George

We're in the same boat. I'm so tired of it all, I would just about vote for the first candidate that gives me a reason to vote for himself/herself instead of a reason not to vote for another. Have a great weekend! Too funny!

I generally get a bit frustrated at the fact that politics is more about digging up ancient history, political correctness both in your past statements and those of everyone you ever knew, etc. But the more and more that surfaces about this Pastor guy, the more I find it to be relevant. Here's why. Obama has done a very good job of getting away with being non specific on pretty much anything. What frightens me is the possibility that Obama espouses (albeit secretly) the same sentiments as his pastor. I understand that the two are just friends, and there is a good possibility that he disagrees with the entire "race vs. race" junk that comes from Wright. But his propensity to ignore issues like these are concerning. Assuming he has substance, he needs to start campaigning on it. I'm sick and tired of his ambiguity. I'll post something later today that should be funny, but illustrates a point. @oneaustin

I'll clarify in the post in just a minute. If you follow this blog, you know that I'm a libertarian. So although Obama may be inspiring, his eagerness to direct America toward MORE social programs, MORE government handouts, MORE subsidies, MORE entitlements, etc. should be extremely frightening to the taxpayers. I mentioned this on another blog recently, and it would serve us well to all think about this long and hard. The Constitution doesn't guarantee us the right to water ... just the right to go find it. The founders fought and died for the right to be self-sufficient ... to be free. @david

I have found the Scriptures that foretell the Democratic ticket. It will be Barak for president and Hillary his running mate. Barak's inexperience makes him nervous so he will ask Hillary. Judges 5:8 - And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me then I will go; but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go! God's Word, as relevant as ever!!! ===))) Kind words, George, thanks. I have found the Scriptures that foretell the Democratic ticket. It will be Barak for president and Hillary his running mate.
