Did you see Obama’s Speech? Wow! Anyone who can uplift a cynic such as Deeply has some power in his soul, some expectation, and yes honest hope about him. This man speaks better than any politician in Deeply’s lifetime. He is a modern Demosthenes who Deeply believes may be able to speak so well, so passionately to those governed and those who govern that by force of words he can persuade the congress to act differently. Embarrass the silly changeless Washington into behaving with care and concern for the American people. I know, I know... never happen. But Obama seems the best chance so far, in my lifetime, and Deeply ain't no whippersnapper.
Obama is an aristocrat in the best of senses... one of intelligence and talent, as opposed to the sorry sham who sits in the Whitehouse today, a Dullard of the dollar, and the kickback. A putz of privilege... Our Doofus...George W Bush.
And John McCain, well, he may win if the American people remain stupid and afraid. But if they see the possibility of man, as did those who founded our country, those who wrote our Bill of Rights and our Constitution, then perhaps, just perhaps... there will be some Hope for our nation. If we elect Barrack Obama.
