Changing the subject somewhat, now that Clinton is NOT the dem candidate, I can't believe that I'll finally vote in a Presidential election (since Carter) when the choice is NOT between the lesser of two evils. I actually think we have a shot at a non-evil candidate for once. IN MY LIFETIME! Or am I being overly optimistic? When the music's over, turn out the light. Jim Morrison, the doors
Putting him on par with Jimmy Carter is probably not unfair all things considered. Which is still unimpressive, but as recent US presidents go it's a big step forward.
I'm prepared to be surprised, but so far Obama doesn't look like more than a Carter with a snazzier marketing department and the advantage that the other wing of the Corporate Party has shot itself in both feet, a kneecap and one arm with an elephant gun.
Still, Obama is preferable to John "Nuke Iran" McCain.
