A cynic? All people are obligated to ask that of any and all candidates running for office, particularly that office. If you're going to ask to be president you'd better:
A) Bring an impressive resume
B) Pander to a base that can be lead around like zombies with flowery words.
I'm NOT cutting on Obama. He's just another lawyer / politician running for president. I'm cutting on his supporters who are wide-eyed and lathering at the mouth for someone they know nothing at all about. It is a shining example of the face of liberalism as I've always seen it....now caught on camera. Baseless, paper thin fanaticism without reason.
I'm not an Obama supporter. I recognize him as a dangerous choice for that particular office for a variety of reasons, yet I COULD HAVE ANSWERED THE QUESTION. The man is not totally without accomplishments in his life. It's a true testament to the kind of people who support him that they couldn't.
I do understand the liberal plight right now. They've backed themselves into a corner. The only possible tickets they've left themselves with are Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. I'm pretty sure that secretly they're thinking that maybe that Mondale / Ferraro ticket wasn't so bad after all. If that's what I was left with I might close my eyes and embrace ignorance as well.
