O-yeah

So I just walked out of Obama's history making speech. Why? Was it to irritate the moveon.org people that were there? Was it cuz I had to pee and ran out of beer? Was it cuz I didn't give a damn? Probably a bit of all of those, but really it was because I just can't buy into this cult of personality. Call me jaded if you will, but really, what did the man say that A) we didn't know already, and B) we hadn't heard from 100 other politicians, Democrat and Republican, prior to him? Working class, common folk, health care, education, Kenyan immigrant (OK, I'll give him that one), etc etc etc. Five'll get you ten that McCain's speech is going to say the same shit with different words.
Obama is a good speaker, and even if we hadn't been assaulted with 8 years of some yapping dipshit who had a sociopath for a puppetmaster, he would still sound good. But really, why am I supposed to get all wound up over words of hope from someone else? Bush saud the same shit. Clinton did. Regan did. Granted, the Republicans have seemingly done all they could do to face rape us every time they get into office (by us I mean broke dick alcoholics), no one wants to remember Clinton and his errors. Why bitch about Republicans sending jobs overseas when Clinton signed NAFTA? Are they splitting hairs? Cuz I'll give them the split hairs that those jobs just went south of the border, not overseas.
Anyhoo, bottom line is I skipped out. What would have been my ideal speech, instead of predictable regurgitation? If Obama had come out and said, "Alright, let's do this! Let's get this shit started!" Then he would have thrown a lit M-80 into a prop mailbox and ran offstage as everyone cheered when the fucker blew up. The people in the front row would have gotten some shrapnel wounds and free health care for their problems.
I would vote then.
But another speech of this and that? I'll just say that I'll think about it.
