"Hating George W. Bush is not only dull and unoriginal, but it shows a complete lack of understanding of the world in which we live in.
You want liberty but you don’t want to defend it... right. "

Yes yes I know, dissing the chosen one will most definitely make me persona non grata with everyone, who like Fox Mulder, just want to believe.
However it has to be said, if you just scratch the surface of this handsome, incredibly well spoken, presidential candidate, what lies beneath is a scary amalgam of some very unsavoury ideals.
Massive government programs....check
Ability to guilt white americans into voting for him, unless they want to be seen as racist.....check
Moving beyond that ol' school politicking and all about the consensus....yeah right
If only we could all vote for Him and the world will be a better place. From an article on AtlasShrugs(h/t: AugeanStables)
"Suddenly American power, in the right hands, would not be evil. American society, systematically portrayed as racist, communitarian, and imperialist, could become a beacon to the world…if only the right race wins. And Western European nations, faced with overwhelming problems of immigration, Islamization, and demographic decline, should redeem themselves by doing like the Yankees."and a bit later on
"...the key to Obamania: the vain hope that not only replacing but symbolically erasing George W. Bush will make that indefinable global conflict go away."I wonder if Obama can redeem our white English settler guilt for genociding the Aborigines and make the government say Sorry....oh wait a minute.

Perhaps Barack will be like dear Kev 24/7 and make them realise they are better off with the devil they know ...
Yeah, that argument's really not going anywhere is it!
Bring on the change - in this case, any change and let's see if the next one fits any better than the current one!
Change for the sake of change may not be for the best. And the change the One has in mind I don't think will be "productive" at this critical juncture.
Even if Obama proved to be as *totally* crap as George W Bush in terms of economic management and foreign policy, at least he could string them words together and enunciate a little better. If nothing else, at least the circus will look a bit snappier.
...but let's face it, surely Obama (or Superfries) would have to cock things up pretty severely to look as shabby as GWB.
Is it possible that some people might actually vote for Obama because they think:
1) the Republicans are crap and have manage to cock-up the country in several serious ways;
2) Superfries is merely another face of the the same (or relatively similar) monster;
3) Obama offers something the other guy doesn't?
...and co-incidently he's black.
Isn't it a bit lame to suggest that every man & his dog are *obviously* going to jump on this superficial band wagon and vote for some *black* guy just because a deep-seated sense of guilt, and desire not to be labelled as KKK-lovers by their left-wing, vegetarian, tree-hugging comrades?
There comes a time to admit something that looks like a turkey, sounds like a turkey, smells like a turkey, and tastes like a turkey; could actually be a turkey.
Maybe people will vote for Obama because they're sick of the turkey...
