Maybe you do need to snort some of the magic peace dust!
You don't have to vote for him. If he gets elected and he does an awful job you'll be right, so at least you have that going for you!
Do you think Carter was a snake oil salesman, too? I always thought he was naive and love dovey; the Obama you describe in your post is anything but lovey dovey. He's a shrewd politician, calculated, and a little evil. And since it's obviously impossible to bring American's together, what does it matter if Obama doesn't accomplish it? Isn't it good that he's actually a Washington insider who is ambitious to be president? Don't you think that will mean he will do whatever it takes to get his policies pushed through? And since his policies are very similiar to Clinton's, how can that be bad?
I'm sorry, I guess we can just agree to disagree. The magic peace dust makes me magnaminous to my "enemies" I suppose.
