I Don’t Have a Crush on Obama

America has lost it’s mind.  What is it about Barack Obama that makes him so appealing to you? What hath he done to swoon you so? The chosen one, the Messiah- will he be your savior? Will he grab our collective collar and hold tight as we fall backwards into our own grave, only to pull us out? The Great Change, the Great Hope, the same great hope and change who recently sent 30 lawyers and researchers into Alaska to dig up dirt on Sarah Palin? The same great hope, the same great change that refused to vote for a bill in the Illinois state senate that would require medical attention for fetuses who survived abortions? The same great hope, the same great change that made a habit out of voting simply “present” on tough issues in the same capacity as a state senator?

And when I ask about his meager time in the U.S. Senate and ask you what he has accomplished there, don’t give me some jargon about working with various senators on various committees as if it’s some great accomplishment. Well guess what? THAT’S HIS JOB. It is not something to be marveled at. Senator McCain has done the same thing for more than two decades.  Oh, and he’s actually created bills with Democratic senators across the aisle and they’ve actually passed. 

It’s no wonder McCain has been pulling ahead of Obama in the polls in the past week. People are in the process of curing themselves of this strange disease called Obamamania. The good news: it’s curable. Let’s hope this cure catches on and the disease doesn’t.

No, I don’t have a crush on Obama.
