Talk about arrogance. The White House is there for the taking by the Democrats. Pretty much all they needed to do was to show up.
And whom do they give us? Hillary (I just can't wait to be king!) Clinton and Obama - a rabble rouser with little experience and nothing of substance to say.
Why? Were the democrats so certain of victory that they decided to "make history" by nominating a woman or a minority member? It's very hard to believe that the democrats don't have many more experienced and qualified candidates - including women and minority members.
Well, as we can see, it's coming apart at the seems for Hillary. Obama's inexperience will likely cost him in the general election. And wait until the skeletons start walking out of his closet.
And the republicans? Don't even let me get started on McCain.
Are these three the best that the "system" has to offer? Maybe the White House is there for the taking by a third party.

I'm concerned about Obama's friend, mentor, pastor. What Do You Think? Are We Known By Our Friends?
I'm so pissed at the government I'm not even following any of this.
So I'm wondering why you suggest the system isn't working. Seems like the system is working pretty well. Who would you suggest should be making the decisions, if the people voting seem to be getting it so wrong?
Can you name one first-time presidential candidate that truly has presidential experience? I can't recall McCain ever having served in the white house. Hillary was there for 8 years, but not as CIC.
This is a non-issue, imo, meant to marginalize some candidates. As for substance, anyone who can claim that Obama has nothing of substance to say clearly hasn't been paying attention. He's electrifying audiences. That doesn't happen when candidates stutter and stammer "more of the same, forevermore..."
In case you hadn't noticed, as well, the leading candidates aren't chosen by the people. They are annointed by the corporate masters. Only those that meet their compliance standards are allowed access to a pulpit and microphone. Witness the utter media blackout of the candidacies of Kucinich, Edwards, and Paul, the only REAL anti-establishment messengers present at the beginning of the primaries.
So, what we get is exactly what we deserve. After decades of believing the utter nonsense that the media is "liberal," we have gleefully (and shamefully) handed over control of the PUBLIC airwaves to the very corporate masters who profit from keeping us uninformed.
You want change? Support alternative media, and stop supporting the corporatist babble and partisan propaganda that you've allowed yourself to wallow in for so long.
We have the good fortune of having heard the voices of many fine candidates this year, (although Clark is right... Paul, Kucinich, and Edwards were marginalized). Can anyone doubt the trainwreck that waits nearby if we don't seriously address the future of our energy policy, our healthcare system, education... and all those other "socialist" issues?
And this is a PRIMARY!
The populace is energized like it hasn't been in my recent memory. This is a very good thing.

This is the most important election in our history.
Leave the neocons in charge and it could well be the end.
The republican bunch was disappointing at best from the get-go. If Thompson would have had any appeal, he waited too long to get in to know for sure. Not sure the replicans had a real viable candidate all along, which js why I said the White house was there for the taking.
However, with the two dems that remain, the nominee will be anything but a shoe-in.
That's simply not true at all. None of these candidates were given a fair amount of mic time by the corporate media. Not one. They rarely got asked questions in debates, and when they were, the questions asked were often pointless, nonsensical questions.
Also, to say that Paul has failed to energize is flat wrong as well. Even with the virtual media blackout, he was able to raise significant amounts of interest and cash. He was simply never given an equal opportunity by the corporate masters.
Gravel was characterized as a kook from the moment he first opened his mouth in the first debate, and called the illegal occupation of Iraq what it is. Kucinich was branded a kook as well, and was questioned about, of all things, his witnessing a UFO, as if no other person on the planet has ever seen one.
My wars? Where does that come from? To which wars in particular are you referring?
Yeah, right. Don't kid yourself. The candidates were selected the same way and by the same people that have been selecting them for nearly a century: The mainstream media, in consultation with their international banking cartel/military-industrial complex masters, in concert with the entrenched Establishment "leaders" of the two political parties.
The dumbed-down, indoctrinated sheeple might show up and pull the lever on election day, but who they pull the lever for is determined in advance.
The imminent nomination of John "100 More Years of War" McCain is the most glaring, undeniable evidence of this there could possibly be.
The man's campaign was DOA less then six months ago. Nobody liked him, nobody would send him money. He was broke, and his campaign crumbled.
Suddenly, and for reasons unknown to the masses, ABCCBSMSNBCFOX declares that John McCain is the "front-runner!" All of a sudden, he's the most "electable" of the Republican candidates!
Lo and Behold, votes for McCain are magically manifest!
Still, nobody likes John McCain. Still, nobody will send him money. 80% of self-professed "conservatives" hate his guts. His name is attached to two of the most hated pieces of legislation this country has seen in centuries. He has absolutely ZERO grassroots support.
Yet he is the Republican nominee.
Can anyone seriously deny that John McCain's one and only "support base," his only true constituency, is the mainstream media?
Can anyone thus deny, that the mainstream media selected the Republican nominee this year?
The MSM probably won't even have to program the voters to pull the lever for Hillary this time around for the Dem's. It looks like the "super-delegates" got that taken care of.
Either way, we will end up with a President -- an office which now can be more accurately described as "Most Supreme Ruler of the World," or "Commander in Chief of Everyone on Planet Earth" -- that has been selected not by the people, but by entrenched elites behind closed doors.
Anyone else ready for a revolution?
It already has. See here.
