Obama, Economics, Reality

"We do American business — and the American people — no favors when we turn a blind eye to excessive leverage and dangerous risks," Obama said.

I like Obama as a person. I like him too much to want him as president. Why would a guy with brains and the drive to help others want to be president, especially after Bush?

Even if the US economy were running well, he's going to inherit all the problems Bush created, like Iraq and the rest of a crumbling World politic. Since Bush, corporations run wild, wilder, while local populations reel under corporate greed and exploitation. How's he going to fulfill his plans with this mess lurking behind him 24/7/365. And then there's the fundamentalist internally and externally gearing up to fulfill biblical prophecies however they choose to interpret the "Word," and with nukes to boot!

These ideas I need to get down, keep down, and post to myself before Obama becomes president.

He's like Tiger Woods in some ways. He's excelled in a land of strangers, many of them with home-schooled, color coded bigotry. A strange land for whites, a hostile land for copper-toned skin, a brutal land for black. It's not only "whites," color coded bigotry grows from all shades of the color spectrum -- a strange land, yes.

Like Woods, Obama hopes to join the "club," and in some ways he has. And he has proven, like Woods, that he can join the club, wear the club's jacket, but the club is not about to let either one of them bring change to the club.

Let Hillary do it. She deserves it, American deserves it. I kept my tongue tied in her regard because the reactionaries spend enough time spinning lies and acceleratingly dirt in her direction. I neither liked nor disliked Hillary. She's a creature of her time, her environment. She's not a "liberal," in any case. Look at her and you see some tiny progressive ideas and a mountain of "go along to get along." She'll fit the club's agenda much more squarely than a golden Obama. Hillary and the USA deserve one another as, I suppose, just as we deserved George Bush. How could it be otherwise after what we've done to the Iraqi people?

I could spend hours talking with Obama on a plane, a train, a bus, not Hillary. The last two weeks have proven to me that Hillary's senses are canine-like. She's searching for a bone, nose held high, and where she craps is not an issue for her. I guess I really don't care so much for her.

Obama's running at the risk of his life. His campaign and climb to fame come at great risk, too much risk for a job doomed to failure. Even had Bush not been president, even if the economy were just wonderful from top to bottom, he'd still have thousands of warheads pointed at the Earth, rain forests disappearing at an increasing rate, and Global Warming. I wonder, does he suffer from some sort of delusions of grandeur, maybe a death drive? What would Freud say?

Obama's too dynamic, too keen, and too deserving to become president. Hillary's like Bush and the rest, like John McBush. We deserve her. Plus, she's more dynamic than the Bush that she'd replace, that cardboard character of a human being.

I hope the best for Obama. He's got my $25 dollars and best wishes, and I'm not even a democrat!
