We already have Barack Obama v.1 up here governing Massachusetts. If I want empty overblown promises that are not within the realm of possibility to deliver (but there's a damn lot of hope, change, and "together we can" in the air!) I can just listen to Deval Patrick ramble on.
His (Deval Patrick) latest promises are to get 30,000 construction jobs out of 3 casinos that cost $1B each, when even the biggest s pro-union shill says that number is 33% too high (nonbiased estimates have it at 10-20% of Devals vaunted promise.)
He's also promised more jobs in biotech than the entire economy of Massachusetts produced in years previous.
Considering Obama rips pretty much all his speeches from Deval's 2006 campaign for governor and shifts a few words around, you're in for the same kind of overblown pap and nonsense if Obama is elected.
Sometimes I'm glad my generation doesn't vote in large numbers. Obama is selling the same snake oil that's been sold for 40 years. Now in the black bottle.
Not that I'm a huge fan of McCain, mind you, but that "It's 3 AM in the White House" ad initially put out by Hillary than parodied by Barack is the strongest argument for John McCain ever made. Hillary knows the military? (from her ad.) The last time she talked to anyone from the military she was declaring General Petraus was lying to her face.
That Hillary or Barack would be a solid choice to answer the red phone at 3 AM, to quote Hillary herself, "requires the willing suspension of disbelief."
