The reality, Bob my friend , is that it is now impossible to repair the system, even with a magic wand.

Obama knows that, I suppose he's always known that....coming from his background, but he's a politician and he sure as hell doesn't want you and me to know.

As far as Smedley's rhetoric is concerned, the euphoria of "our first black president" went quicker than snow off a dyke.

What the fuck does it matter what colour he is if he's un-willing or unable to make any difference on the issues that really count?

Just another fuckin' smoke screen!

We don't need any more clever politicians, or even stupid politicians. We need somebody who actually believes in what they are saying, somebody with clear achievable objectives and who is prepared to tell the electorate that they're gonna have to suffer some to get there.
