Mind... Blown...

... at how much I like Barack's views. I will use this space to post things I like about Barack Obama.

#1: He has an amazing perspective on campaign financing -- he just decided to decline $80 million from lobbyists and special interest groups. He recognizes that the accumulation of power by the very wealthy does not bode well for the vast majority of Americans. Here's an article:

Here's the man speaking:

Could it be love?

More to come.

I hope your mind is still blown when the corn ethanol lobbyists who've been fellating him at every stop on his "I'm an Everyman Too" tour have wonderbread at 6 dollars a loaf.

Is that a burn? Judges...? Yes that's a burn.

"Nader -- who launched his 5th presidential campaign in February -- says the only thing different about Obama from previous Democratic presidential candidates is his race. "I haven't heard him have a strong crackdown on economic exploitation in the ghettos," Nader says. "Payday loans, predatory lending, asbestos, lead. What's keeping him from doing that? Is it because he wants to talk white? He doesn't want to appear like Jesse Jackson? We'll see all that play out in the next few months and if he gets elected afterwards."

Whammy. Nothing changes, only fads and illusions. He is handsome though...
