[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vanguard: [QB] Okay, this is my last post on this, since I'm behind getting other things done (such as Jaynz, which I'm sure you would all RATHER me be doing), but I'll finish up here. To me, Obama is just a Democrat. He's got Clinton's charisma, Kennedy's acumen, and Carter's policies. I'm predicting that he's going to be a one-term president that will wind up over-regulating the country so much - particularly for left-wing agendas - that our economy and well-being will be devastated. I'm already seeing shades of 1976-1979. But that's actually it for my opinion on Obama, and I honestly didn't see McCain as much better of a choice, except for the chance to 'balance the capitol' a little bit. What concerns me is the adoration this man, who has literally no track-record to speak of, to degrees that are eerily reminiscent of Germany in the early 1930s. There's a video on YouTube out where a number of holllywood celebs swear the absolute loyal to Obama [i]and then Mankind as an afterthought[/i]. This is a cult of personality taken to degrees which, frankly, scare the shit out of me. You guys deny that it even exists. This is despite the fact that I'm not talking about the typical loonies here, but outlets such as CNN which actually refer to his inauguration officially as "The Moment", or the NYT which refer to him as "The One" in [i]serious[/i] terms. The degree of this has never happened in American politics before, particularly at the levels that it is happening. As someone who's family came close to being wiped out by a fascist three generations ago, understand that I'm very troubled by the number of Americans willing to march to Der Furher, even if the man they're worshipping doesn't happen to actually be one.
