A vote for Obama is a vote for mediocrity.

hasn't America come to represent mediocrity in just about everything but the ability to kick the **** out of smaller countries? And just lately we've been pretty mediocre in finishing that up...

I'm not cynical about him yet. I've heard his argument about the 527s and I'm not sure what I think about it yet. Symbolically, it would have been better to have stuck with public financing or at least waited until McCain forwent it before backing out. I can see how he gets cut both ways on this one. Stick with public financing = naive, forgo it = typical politician.

Yeah, that's kind of what I meant... someone who voted for incompetence and ineptitude is lecturing folks for supposedly voting for mediocrity.

Obama '08?

If you are a successful person or are planning to ever be successful you defiantly don't want Obama
to be elected president. Obama's plan includes punishing the successful with super high taxes ... Evil or Very Mad

Obama will end up promoting individual failure as a good thing.

Interesting that the first presidential candidate to opt out of public financing on the Dem side in a long, long time is a 'typical politician.'

It was pretty clear that McCain intended to use the RNC to game the public funding system, while cutting off Obama's ability to use his massive fund-raising base and advantage. This was a good move for Obama.

... after offering the Republican candidate a deal not to, after the Republican candidate accepted the deal, and without any indication that the Republican walked away from it.

I agree with Bear here: This is not "change we can believe in". It's stereotypical politician behavior, as imagined by people who dislike politicians.

Sometimes I worry about you, Thomas: then as you approach the brink, you save yourself by a sudden grasp of the evident truth.

Cynicism or a healthy skepticism is very very healthy in politics, Thomas, as well as science and lots of other things.

Its the mindless robotical stooges waving signs "Change" that I am truly worried about.

You see, okie, we can agree on more than on occasion or two. LOL
