Obama is the great hype machine

[mixxalot]

Mitt Romney

I cannot stand this jerk. He is an arrogant pretty boy LDS freak and robber baron .

I am rooting for Ron Paul. Duncan Hunter is a close second. I am surprised how many suckers want Mitt or that other right wing zealot freak, Huckabee.

drunkle: It sounds as Putin could learn a thing or two from you. You could always go for that Idi Amin kind of thing: President For Life. Papa Doc and Baby Doc Duvalier had that going on in Haiti, too. Those three are probably not good examples, in that things didn’t turn out too well for any of them.

mixxalot: Romney and Huckabee are further proof of the GOP’s veer into Looneyville. One is LDS, the other doesn’t believe in evolution. Oy gevalt.

And don’t get me started on the LDS.

Or was it LSD?

Interesting thread. This is definitely an interesting political season. Here is something to consider regarding the current surge of Obama that goes beyond race, It’s Generation. Obama is 46 which is way down the down slope of what they call Baby Boomer. Here is a link from a 2000 CNN article describing Generation Jones.

http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/03/05/generation.jones/index.html

It describes those people that feel they are between boomer and X. They are the largest voting block in this country. Obama is from this era. Many people including myself are sick and tired of the old battles and skirmishes of the baby boomers rooted in the social and political turmoil of the 60’s. Bush / Clinton are the symbols of this conflict in today’s world. That is what is happening to Hillary. Don’t under estimate this Obama thing. The voting bloc he is appealing to is HUGE. If this election takes on the shape of severing ties with baby boomer conflicts and culture wars then that means many conventional assumptions will be thrown out the window.

Personally I like the rise of Obama, I just wish I could agree with all of his politics which I don’t. I am an independent that leans Libertarian. I don’t feel completely comfortable with to Democratic control, or should I say comfortable at all. But I must say the appeal of leaving some of this old crap behind us is very appealing. Just my two cents.

LA_Renter: Some of that same “old crap” is on display on the Naomi Wolf thread. Leftover vestiges of the ’60s “Kulturkampf”, with some good old Cold War paranoia thrown in.

I agree with your assertion note to underestimate Obama’s surge, and the underlying reason for it.

I’d just like to see the younger generation (in my case, that’s anyone under 30) get fired up and involved. If Obama’s the guy, happy days. I don’t personally agree with his politics either, but if it’s a choice between he and Hillary…
