Black vs. Female vs. Republican (and the American dream thrown in)

Hilary Clinton has discovered another fore father. This time, from Pennsylvania. Why, you ask? Because she desperately needs to save face now. Barack Obama, a black man (pardon my racist implications, unholy me!), with a middle name like Hussein and a last name that rhymes with Osama, is actually doing pretty well. And that's not altogether too surprising.
Like I was saying, Hilary Clinton has risen valiantly to the occasion, this time as a Working Class Heroine. Obama points out, very rightly, that she seems to discover roots all over the place. This time, it is a great grandfather who worked in mines in Pennsylvania. Hilary, during her childhood (I'm not making this one up, honest!), learned to fish, shoot and play cards and spent her time around men with names like "Old Hank". The Old Swank hung around with people named Old Hank.
Obama and Hilary, an African American man and a woman seem to be taking the elections by storm and that makes me suspicious. Both the Democratic candidates are far from typical (by American standards atleast). So what are they gearing up for? A new (pseudo) order? Or a Republican candidate? Is John McCain going to be put in the Oval Office at the end of it all?
Someone pointed out in the article I was reading that the lady who grew up rough is now worth a hundred million dollars. Are people really foolish enough to fall for her sentimental prattle about the American dream?
Barack Obama seems to have good intentions, atleast, let's not think about where those always lead! He supported pastor Jeremiah Wright who blamed America for 9/11.
But what good have good intentions ever done? Forty three people have been sworn into the Oval Office so far, but what changes have actually happened? A grand total of none. Which of the Presidents has actually been able to make life easier for the Hispanics and make living conditions in the ghettos a little better? Really makes you think, doesn't it? And what on earth is the American Dream?

This leads me to believe that were you an American citizen, you'd happily abstain.

McCain will win against all reason. A liberal republican=pseudo democrat

best of both worlds methinks

But then again I dont really care
