Question: What is that pain Barack feels in his a**???
Oh. My. God. What a horrid week for Barack! Just when you thought (pre convention) that is couldn't get any worse, our wonderous candidate has one of the WORST WEEKS EVER!
If we don't find a way to stop the bleeding, this is going to get out of hand really fast!
Okay, I know, this reeks of a troll diary. None of the folks here gives me an ounce of credit for anything since I decided that Barack was a d***-head a few months back over the Jeremiah Wright situation.
But this has gotten to the point of being not just a disaster for Barack, but a disaster for Democrats in general.
...and so, what is the point of this diary? Sh*t, I'm not sure I even know any more.
I guess I just want to whine a bit that 1) not only did we nominate a dip-weed, but 2) (and more importantly) we are being pwn'd at every turn.
I mean, honestly, WHAT THE F**K ARE WE DOING????
It was bad enough that we ended up with Barack as our nominee. I have to accept blame for that because I supported him strongly for a long time. I believe I was blinded by my "Hillary Hate", and wanted to read things into Obama that weren't there.
I realized I'd been wrong when he turned his back on Rev Wright (a truly great civic leader!) without so much as a "by your leave". At that point, I realized that Barack was not the man I had thought he was.
Then we started living through Barack's "move to the center" BS, with our candidate abandoning one Progressive position per week. It was appalling and pathetic how much Barack started to pander to the holiness of the middle (DLC style).
It was about this time that I started to compare Barack (unfavorably) to Harold Ford. I really wondered: who is this guy???
And then he picked Joe Biden. Not a bad man, but certainly not a creative choice, or anything speaking to the future. Frankly, it started to seem like McCain was in Barack's head.
Then we had this "convention". What a f***ing waste! Little to no hammering of McCain. Lots of really crappy speeches repeating the same sh*t over and over and over again.
I mean, really, where was the originality? I loved Dennis. And Bill Richardson last night was very good. But the rest? Pure crap!
I have to say, by the way, that I loved Hillary! Odd, since I'd hated her for so long during the primaries. But I thought she gave the best speech of the week. Bill and Joe were okay, but she was WONDERFUL!
And then there was Barack. That may have been the worst speech I've ever heard a major candidate give. Boring. Pointless. And the whole middle bit was stolen (almost verbatim) from the Michael Douglas movie.
Sh*t...I was thinking...this is not good!
I have news for Barack: this is not an episode of The West Wing! I know Jimmy Smits. Jimmy Smits is a friend of mine. And you are no Jimmy Smits.
God, that was just pathetic.
And then today...
OMFG! How could the morons running Barack's campaign not see this coming? How could they get so TOTALLY pwn'd? How could Barack allow himself to get so totally f***ed in the a** the day after his own convention???
My worry at this point is not for Barack. I gave up on him awhile back. But suddenly I am worried about down ticket. What happens if the folks who are going to vote for McCain (and make no mistake, the Prez race is OVER) now vote Repug down ticket? I'm not convinced that is going to happen...YET!
But it could!
Geez, we (you) got so caught up in the glamor and hype of young Master Obama that we have now put Congress in play. I know there are 70 days left, but suddenly I feel like I am going to have to work twice as hard to make sure we get the gains in Congress we want (need!). And all because our top-'o-the-ticket is turning out to be...what?
I can't even come up with a phrase to convey how lame Barack is, or how bad the last two days have been.
How the f*** did this happen???
