    it doesn't matter how smart obama is-

    the rednecks will vote for a "tough" guy like McBush every time, over an intellectual, thoughtful man of color, and so "my friends", we see another lost opportunity ,as the american republic (empire?) sadly goes down the drain, destroyed by the evil military-industrial complex (plus OIL).

    it's all over, "my friends", McAge will carry the election, helped of course by the evil GOP-owned voting machines.

    one last cheer for democracy as it fades away into lost hopes and dreams...
