All I can say here is
Is it honkies or honkys? Doesn’t matter. Yes, I am quite white, by the way. That means it’s ok for me to say honky.
Seriously though, I’ve never felt inspired by an election before. I hate the very idea of being governed, and he still inspires me. Unlike some, I’m pretty sure he isn’t The Second Coming, which is to say the world’s most perfect person, but I definitely like most of what I’ve heard so far. We’ll see how it all shakes out in the coming years.
Also, it’ll be refreshing to have a President that can fucking talk. Bush sounds like a puddinghead, even when sane words come out of his mouth, and McCain is just as bad. Clinton was a good speaker. Bush the senior was ok, but he had a bad voice for it, though not as bad as his son’s. Reagan was a good speaker too, from what I recall. Well, you know, until he pretty much disappeared after the whole brain thing. If nothing else, Obama is an amazing speaker, which is great to have in a President.
Oh, and the people complaining about the $120k tax re-definition thing, shut the hell up. First off, it isn’t like you’re elected and your plans are immediately adopted, since this isn’t a dictatorship just yet. gHod knows we tried, but apparently only just under half of America liked that idea. Secondly, you probably haven’t even looked at what it would actually mean for you, or weighed it against how you feel about the social contract. I haven’t, because I make very little money, currently, and all of my views are going to be distorted by that.
Ok, on with the day.
