[quote author="acpme" date=1219799182]just because one brother is famous why should he be responsible for some half brother he's met once on another continent.</blockquote>
Against my better judgement, I'm going to jump in here. Let me quailfy by saying I am a registered Democrat (getting around to updating that to Independent) who is totally dissatisfied with both Obama and McCain, and probably won't vote for either one. I wish I didn't hate Bob Barr, too.
But since we are talking about Obama...what bothers me is that he and his 'believers' tout this "Change we can believe in", but all I see is more of the same in a new package. He is like all the other politicians, with nice speeches overflowng with hypocricy.
...Maybe the down and out half brother in Kenya would not bother me as much if he had not quoted scripture at Saddleback to the tune of "Whatever you do for me you do for the least of my brothers". Yeah, right.
...Maybe his wife would not irk me as much if they didn't tout her job last night like she was doing community volunteer work for a hospital out of the goodness of her heart --- when in reality she has a $350k job at the University of Chicago Hospital with a primary purpose of diverting (I mean educating) poor folks to go somewhere other than the U of Chicago ER when they have a health problem. Her job would seem to represent the VERY thing that is wrong with our health system, which of course he is going to fix for all of us. Hyopcrisy.
....Maybe it would not bother me so much that he takes non-stands on controversial issues (like voting present 120 times) if he did not preach about how he is a new kind of politician who is going to change the world. Pluuzzeee...He is more of the same. The only change about him is the package he comes in. Just a another hypocrite with a new face.
