		<description>i have to say, i was feeling jesse jackson...because hearing obama lecture blacks (and i&#039;m not black) on personal responsibility sort of made me feel a little oogy. i mean...sure, everyone needs to look at personal responsibility...but eh. to focus there...it was like he was showing off for that &quot;HardWorking White American&quot; whose vote we keep hearing he has to woo. 

yeah. every day that goes by and he says something new (today it was about pouring more troops into afghanistan and i mean what the hell are we even doing there? getting run down into the dirt like the soviets did, that&#039;s what) i just shake my head. 

he&#039;s better than mccain, yes i do think so. and he will win. but i get a little less excited about that as time goes on, i have to say. 

who knows. maybe he&#039;ll surprise us all, eh? yeh.</description>

		<description>I never had hope for him. Obama&#039;s famous speech on race remarkably skirted the present day issue entirely. Never once did he reflect on the plight of black people today, and the state policies that continually marginalize them. Instead he opted to explain how &#039;far&#039; the US has come in civil rights, and that we should forget these issues and focus on more unifying, less divisive matters. Coupled with his belief that the lives of black people are improving and that those not succeeding need to take personal responsibility, and it&#039;s no wonder Jesse Jackson called him out like he did. 

An imperialist foreign policy, an economic plan that will not cure our recession, full support of a warrantless wire-tapping bill that he promised well over a year to filibuster or fight against, the blurring of state and church with &#039;faith-based&#039; initiatives, the full backing of Wall Street, who &lt;a&gt;influence&lt;/a&gt; his campaign far more than people think -- I cannot choose this candidate much less McCain, and I am done with an election system that asks me to choose between the two. If people want to vote for him, fine, but I find his capitulationism repulsive. He is concerned only with squashing &#039;division,&#039; hording progressives to the right side of the political spectrum, while splintering the left in order to secure the White House.</description>

		<description>Well, Nez, if this what you are doing with that leftover MTV time you have on your hands now, great! I never got to the totally weepy state about Obama, probably because I very much avoided ever seeing or hearing his speeches. I’m strange that way. But I did register as a Democrat and I voted for him in the PR primary. I can’t vote in the general, but I would definitely vote for him there over McCain. If Cynthia had a chance, I would vote for her.

Thank you so much for the massive work on this post. I identified so much with many of your expressions.

I am loving the new blog.</description>
