Obama = Hope
It’s that freakin’ simple. I love this candidate more than I have loved any other candidate for any office at any level of government. Ever. This man will change the world. He will. Is it just talk? Is it just charisma with no action? It doesn’t matter! He’s offering the one thing I care about. The only thing I’ve been asking for. It’s that simple.
Yes, I’m evangelizing for the guy. Hell yes I am. Why? Because I am so sick and tired of the American government. I’m so disillusioned. I have been so utterly angry for the last decade. So angry at the complacency. The absolute disregard for democracy, for human dignity for the goddamn rights of not only American citizens but the rights of all humans. I feel like we’ve been abused, thrashed about in this hellish nightmare of a Bush administration. It’s been so bad for me, for the last 10 years I’ve been calling myself an anarchist rather than give one ounce of my energy to those f*ing criminals. Finally, I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Finally, I feel like we might make a comeback. Finally, I think this country can pull itself together.
Barack Obama is no savior. He’s just a guy. But that guy embodies the one thing I have been aching for: hope.
Okay, [/rant]. Now watch this:

You speak for many of course, but thanks for reminding us as we go thru this mind numbing process. Oh, this isn’t the Vespa post…

Thanks, David. I’ve been avoiding the overly political ranting, but after watching the election results the other night, boy I’m getting pumped up.

I love the star wars vid. I’m surprised you didn’t post the pictures of us staring dreamily at the television screen while Barack spoke in North Carolina the other night.
