    Meh

    Obama lost my vote with his FISA flip-flop; I could have taken a lot from him, but not a flat-out screwing of the Constitution.

    His VP pick merely confirms my belief that Obama is just more of the same, another calculating and sleazy liar (like McCain himself, come to think of it). This pick certainly does not bode well for the future of the Democratic Party. Say Obama wins and gets two terms: Biden will be 70 when he runs for President!

    I see no hope for this country. We've let our future be sold to China and Russia, and face an increasingly bleak and hopeless 21st (and 22nd) century. We needed an FDR; instead we're stuck with a pack of sleazy opportunists.

    It's a sad day for America.
