    "selfish desire to win"

    Why, yes I do have a selfish desire for Obama to win the election. You see, I very selfishly want my country to reverse course on the vast amount of control that corporations have on our government, the refusal of it's administration to do what's best for it's citizens, allowing arm chair warriors to send our sons and daughters to die of foreign soil because of some jingoistic BS and last, but not least, because the economy is about to eliminate the middle class.

    Yes, I must say I have a very selfish desire to see Obama as POTUS as I believe that he will be able to get the reversal started. This is my country and I'm sick of seeing morons and con artists run it into the ground.
