Obama in '08!



BIG news from Barack Obama today:

"America's faced big problems before. But today, our leaders in Washington seem incapable of working together in a practical, common sense way. Politics has become so bitter and partisan, so gummed up by money and influence, that we can't tackle the big problems that demand solutions. [...] And that's why I wanted to tell you first that I'll be filing papers today to create a presidential exploratory committee. For the next several weeks, I am going to talk with people from around the country, listening and learning more about the challenges we face as a nation, the opportunities that lie before us, and the role that a presidential campaign might play in bringing our country together. And on February 10th, at the end of these decisions and in my home state of Illinois, I'll share my plans with my friends, neighbors and fellow Americans."

YEAH! We're one step closer to Obama in '08!

Unless McCain runs he's got my vote.

Well, McCain should run, because he's the most liberal moderate I've ever seen. He's practically in the middle. So if the Democrats have to lose to someone, I'd like it to be him.

Zach Francis said...

Exactly, out of any politician McCain's ideals most closely reflect mine. He's a fiscal conservative with liberal social policy. He's not really a Republican, and not really a Democrat. I could go on for a while about this but since I think approximately .78 people care about my political view points, I'll shut the hell up.

How many people do I count as?

Zach Francis said...

About 0.12, ironically the same as my average BAL on Friday and Saturday night.

Zach Francis said...

Oh yeah, and you count as .12 because while you might be interested, you aren't that interested. Hell, I only count for about .36 of the people that care about my political views.

Kevin said...

Haha, fair enough.
