Hello Freedomphiles! So, its official - Barack Obama is now the presumptive Democratic nominee for 2008. Many people have a lot to say about it, but I think reason's David Weigel hits the nail right on the head:
- I think even a badly-run campaign, though, could have survived if its candidate made a different decision six years ago. If Hillary Clinton had voted against the authority to go into Iraq, there never would have been enough oxygen to fuel the rise of someone like Obama. The modern Democratic party has a book of Genesis with two chapters: the "stolen election" of 2000 and the "war built on lies." If Clinton had voted against the war, even if (especially if) she'd voted for every funding package after that, she'd be entering the general election as the most credible critic of Iraq policy. She could get away with a whole lot on her broader foreign policy views as long as she opposed Iraq from the get-go. But she didn't, and she got tangled in the same spider web as John Kerry.
I'm happy with the result - not so much because I want Obama to be the next POTUS - more because I hate that whole corrupt sociopathic ****ing family.

I, for one, feel so betrayed by them....I bought them, hook, line and sinker...right up until South Carolina. That was my epiphanal moment. He had been a hero, up until then...now, anyone can see the smarminess, and smell the stench.
