Please. Enough with pretending Obama is different from the others because he's black.

The 'stupid' rant was outstanding, but if dude believes that BHO will bring any change, other than the color of the family portraits on the walls, he's nuts.

After reading it a second time, this essay isn't really an endorsement of Obama. It's more an endorsement of the idea of slapping the media around for being such utter dumbasses.

Reading it two more times, I believe that it was an indictment of all of us, populous, our media, and the pud-knockers that are put forward for our vote.

Hope is nice, of course, but a good left jab and a couple of well-aimed rights into the soft white underbelly would work wonders. When Obama stands up and says, "I will not play dumb any longer," he may just prove to be an agent of change. For all of us.

The minute he does anything like that he will become and "unperson" like Dr. Paul.

Or in this case an "Uncanidate."

Then again, my definition of stupidity is a population that can be placated by being able to vote for a constant stream of DC nitwit lesser evils dressed up as the "little guy from no-where" who will save us all.

"The more I see of life, the less I fear death." - Me.

"If violence solved nothing, then weapons technology would have never advanced past crude clubs and rocks." - Me.

Have you noticed we live in a stupid nation now?

I thought the stupidity started with Woodrow Wilson, or even Abraham Lincoln???

"The Northern onslaught upon slavery was no more than a piece of specious humbug designed to conceal its desire for economic control of the Southern states." Charles Dickens, 1862

If he does try and really change things he had better get rid of the secret service as his protection and hire the crypts and bloods. You go against TPTB and you're a dead man, er an assinated president.

lied to by military experts on the TV (see last Sunday's New York Times for details)

Behind TV Analysts, Pentagon’s Hidden Hand

CNN, FOX, CBS, ABC, NBC and MSNBC decline PBS’ interview request over the “Military Generals’ scandal

“President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years,” “Maybe a hundred ... ... that’d be fine with me,” McCain responds
Hillary: "I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran in the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them."
