We liberals like to make fun of George Bush, and that makes us happy, but we've completely failed to stop him and we loosed that man on us and the world.
Similarly, we'll focus on some nonsense stuff about Obama, believing that that will keep him from the presidency: not.
What will keep Obama out is his penchant for bloodless debate, a love of sonorous tones over fact, a rotten health care program, a timid energy program and his "refining" his plans to sort of include where the polls seem to push that day: so now we have drilling, and we surely have a whole lot of Jesus.
It's Barack "me too!" Obama.
Yeah, I'll vote for him. But if he can't do better than that, if he can't actually lead the Democrats... but then again, doing nothing is much much better than what Bush has done.
The problems with race won't really emerge unless and until he makes it into office: then the bad guys will unload on him without reserve.
Remember what they did to Clinton? They'll do that to Obama in spades.
