For a lot of Americans, charisma is more important than actual track record and deeds done/things accomplished.
We live in a country with Game Show Charisma mentality. It's always more important to be shiny, smooth and talk a good game. A lot of americans want to be bullshited and seduced by the bullshit. Reality is much more difficult to face.0 -

Exactly.
Now, what I would love to see if Obama get's into the White House, is this.
He gets in and he immediately calls Israel out for their part in the neverending bloodshed and demands they be responsible and accountable; by respecting international law and the origianl treaties. Or else they lose Americas support.
Would love it if Obama is simply playing the game of appeasing the elite and corporate intersts, so he can win this. And then turns around and sticks it to all those fuckers by demanding changes and severig their influence and power. Then demands that any policy and law that infringes on the rights of Americans, be eliminated (see Public Domain and Patriot Act for example)
Then, I would applaud the guy.
Who knows, maybe that's what he's doing. Maybe0
