So, I was hit up by a cute young volunteer to give money to the Obama campaign. Well, not directly to the campaign, but to the DNC, so it would go further and also help out the Democrats he will need elected in order to govern effectively. I pointed out that we already had a majority in both the House & the Senate and that I am particularly frustrated that Sen. Obama had voted for telecom immunity.
“Yes but, look at the alternative. . .” she responded.
Yeah, I know, this isn’t a perfect world. . . still, I would have preferred to force the current administration to pardon those involved with illegal wiretaps, rather than retroactively granting immunity for breaking the law.
On a related note, I just read some very amusing commentary on the messianic aspects of the Obama campaign in The Times:
And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.
Wow, if that doesn’t describe the faith of some of my compatriots. I mean, I clearly support the campaign. I am a firm believer that Obama is the best option that we have been presented with for president. Indeed, I think that he will make a GOOD president. This article is definitely good for a laugh. Highly recommended.
