So it was kind of a difficult question to answer.


I voted for Obama because he wasn't Bush and he wasn't McCain. That was all I ever expected from him. So, I'm not as disappointed as a lot of people are, because he's really not Bush and he's not McCain.

He's a crafty politician from the Chicago/Daley School of Politics. That's how he outmaneuvered the Clinton Machine, which, sad to say, wasn't that hard.

I never believed there would be more than cosmetic change. The corporations still own the government. The radical evangelical Christians still own the military. Obama needs to play to the very communities that are the most homophobic.

He's better than Bush, McCain of Palin -- sadly for him, that's not a very high hurdle to overcome. However, had Obama been perceived as any kind of a threat to corporate America, he would have been politically destroyed a long time ago.
