Obama just Lost.
So as we all know Barack Obama, bowing to the advice of "experts"- the same experts who've lost every election not featuring Bill Clinton since 1980, has selected Joe Biden as his running mate. A man who has attempted to show that he represents "change" has selected a man serving in the Senate since 1972 because his "experts" told him he needed someone with "foreign policy" experience. Stupid. American's don't give a rat's ass about foreign policy!! Only "experts" do. Didn't George H.W. Bush learn this when he was rejected by margins only slightly less than those rejecting Bill Clinton in 1992? (To remind you, he had great "foreign policy" credentials but was powerless or unwilling to clean up Reagan's economic mess) Well anyway despite the fact that Americans clearly wanted a woman and clearly wanted "change" in Washington, Obama has selected a man who is a long-time insider who loves to hear his own voice only slightly less than John McCain does- a man who screws up while running his mouth at least as much as McCain does too.
So this is my take. Gov. Bush got elected president; Gov. Clinton got elected; Gov. Reagan got elected; VP Bush got elected; Gov. Carter got elected; see a pattern. Well now we have another double senator ticket. Let's look back on those... Kerry-Edwards.... failure. VP-Senator Gore-Lieberman failure. Mondale-Ferraro (Sen-Rep). Dukakis-Bentsen (Gov.-Senator- with foreign policy experience) etc. These jackasses don't seem to understand that when the American people want change they want someone from outside of Washington like say Gov. Napolitano from Arizona or Gov. Sebelius from Kansas. What you might notice is that both these aforementioned Govs. are women. Hmm... you just narrowly defeated a woman in the primary. Women are supposedly "tough sells" for you and so just because of some Russian posturing and military action (bound to happen regardless of our candidates thanks to the "Foreign Policy experience" of VP Dick Cheney and his cohort of jackasses) you select a man who ripped you, who let his race-face show while calling you "attractive and well-spoken." You've just doomed your candidacy. With Napolitano or Sebelius you could have attracted women to your ticket, concerned women, you could have let the country know that you want serious change not the same old Washington BS which Sen. McCain represents. But no, you picked Biden and now you are going to lose.
There are positives though. There is a chance the election would have been stolen from you by corrupt (or corrupted/hacked) voting machines in states like Ohio and Florida and that could have harmed the chances of whomever you selected as your VP. So, now Sebelius will be free to run against Sen. McCain to promise the change we wanted this election cycle but were too stupid to vote for. From what I have heard Sebelius is quite competent and that is good because with four more years of profoundly stupid and corrupt Republican executive authority, and pathetic weak-willed Democratic toadying, this country is going to continue its slide down into the sewer for four more years and the mess will be even bigger and more wretched than before.
As an aside, if the US just defaulted on its debt the way Russia and Argentina did in the last ten years we'd be ready to grow as rapidly as those two nations are the moment.
