Ms. Ed, the unappellated eohippus.
For the record, Ms. Ed, the biggest liar of the primitives on Skins's island, favored John Edwards in the Democrat presidential primaries, and then departed Skins's island for a while because she couldn't take the Hate, the rage, the anger, the bitterness, the hostility, of the 0bamaite primitives.
Just some background here, to explain the bonfire.

It seems Obama was a BRILLIANT choice by the men behind the curtain
Keeps the lefties tripping over themselves defending him while the right trips over themselves tearing him down and in the meantime, they continue forward with their agenda unabated.

20. I'm laughing - you had to EDIT a three-word subject line?
That's hilarious.
Yeah, it is hilarious. The primitives are always having to edit their comments. If I were my fellow alum Skins, I'd charge the primitives fifty cents every time they edit one of their comments.....and then if I were my fellow alum Skins, I'd be a millionaire.

14. We Want Him To Choose...
We want him to get out of the Mythical Middle.
There is no "Center"!
It is people of reason, logic, enlightenment, and goodwill vs. the earth-is-flat-birther-bircher-deather-facist-kkk-nazi ****wads!
Between people who are ready to get to work on the future, and people who boo and shout down a lady in a wheelchair with two terminal illnesses.
The middle of that, is to the right of Reagan!!!
Tell me, please... where is the middle between: the earth is flat\the earth is a sphere???
I'd really like to know.

10. I don't think Obama was their choice...
I think it's obvious that when this election process began--that the "men behind the curtain" were very pleased with Hillary on the Dem side (and everyone thought she had it locked) and McCain on the right.
Obama truly was democracy in action. There was a lot written and said about Obama--and I remember Teddy Kennedy commenting on the fact that Obama didn't do the DC cocktail circuit. He worked out and spent a lot of time alone.
He was not entrenched like so many other pols, who by now, are being blackmailed and are corrupted beyond repair.
The problem is...those "men behind the curtain" told him how it was going to go down.
What's problematic here is that these guys have become more emboldened and obvious. It's becoming increasingly clear that we barely have a democracy--and that the corporations and the neocons control everything.
I just heard on "Countdown" that Obama will most likely drop the public option. So, we've got a Dem majority in the House, a Dem majority in the Senate and control of the White House by a President who voted against the Iraq war.
Anyone really think the Democrats control ANYTHING?
Sure, the Democrats control things.
The White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives, the blue states, the blue cities.

11. Oh boy....
Maybe Obama should have just stayed in the Senate...it would have been more fun.

13. A few months ago, I posited my theory, which made even me cringe, that's how goofy it sounded, but, after a lifetime lived in Washington, and knowing the system pretty well, I arrived at the (to me) inescapable conclusion that Obama was handed this victory - and McPOW got his lifelong wish to be his party's candidate, since it was a throwaway, anyway - by The Powers That Be.
The ones who own the country.
They did just fine with ****face installed for eight years, even though it got sloppy, getting and keeping him in that Oval Office, but he was perfect, and the neocons were perfect, too, running our country right into the ground, selling us to the Chinese for cash to keep the coffers filled and the "wars" financed.
We have a debt to China that is now impossible to repay.
So, The Powers That Be - and we can't ever accuse them of not having a sense of humor - decided that it would be funny to let a black (well, HALF-black) man win the election, and become an historical President.
Then he'd inherit the mess they'd made, the one that they no longer knew how to fix or clean up, because they'd made as much money and wielded as much power as they possibly could, and he'd be the one in office when it all came crashing down.
As I said, I felt nuts even thinking this, but nothing I've seen has changed my mind. In fact, events just continue to reinforce my theory, and that breaks my heart.

15. I felt that sentiment from the start when before the primary season even started, the media started pushing "an historic election"...a woman vs. a black man.
Every other candidate was pretty much shut out--and I think that the powers that be just wanted to enrage the RW--because it is a toss-up between who they hate more, black people or women.
This is turning into a sick sociological experiment.

16. The joke's on us - we took democracy seriously.
We really thought we won something. We thought change had come. We thought the good things would outnumber the bad.
We believed.
We got had.

18. I think the majority of the left realizes that although there is still a sizable majority that still is drunk on the koolaid but I think they will come around.
The righties can be fascinated by new and shiny objects to keep them distracted.

26. Agreed. They couldn't have picked somebody better suited to enrage the right than Obama.
Think about this. With all the 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11 being shoved down our throat daily by Bush, the next President after Bush has a Muslim sounding name and has the middle name of the enemy that we attacked in Iraq, Saddam Hussein. Seriously, how could that happen in anywhere else other than Bizzaro land? That would have been like Roosevelt's succesor being named Chip Hitler, rather than Truman. It's like some big joke. Now they can say to the global community that the U.S. isn't racist becuase we elected a black man, even though it overwhelmingly is racist.
