... I do recall Gibbs telling a reporter that Obama sleeps well at night and had no problems with his decisions.

Finally an honest statement! My view? Obama is as much a self-centered SOB as Bush. He sleeps well at night because the only people he TRULY cares about are hinself, his wife, his kids, maybe his extended family. Beyond that ... forget it, wishful thinking. Is he ever going to be out of work? Hungry? Homeless? What about his children? How's poor Chelsea Clinton doing?

You people who want to think the best about Obama are deluding yourself in order to justify your 2008 vote. Wake the fuck up!

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Just encourage those you tutor to vote this fall, even if it is for the least disgusting candidate. The ultimate victory for those who support the existing system is for their opponents to stay at home out of apathy.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

As I do; I vote against what I hate rather than for what I like. Under first past the post that is all you can do.
