Here's something I posted on another mailing list, responding to a crack form a British friend that there was no difference between Obama and McCain: >The political discourse in America has been inhumane for a >generation. Richard Nixon initiated the practice of campaigning on >character assassination; Ronald Reagan took office by appealing to >selfishness, then proceeded to subvert the principles of his country >and party for the enrichment of his backers. Bill Clinton got >elected with the language of compassion but was too weak to vanquish >the obstructionists and too personally flawed to hold the moral high >ground. > >George W. Bush wasn't even elected. His rhetoric was Orwellian in >its abuse of truth, and his administration was a pure kleptocracy. >He and his owners are in the process of cleaning out what's left in >the till before they are sent packing in January. > >There is no way Barack Obama can be as good a president as we need >him to be, but the mere fact of the frame of reference from which he >speaks is enough to give hope to this country and this world. > >We stepped back from the brink yesterday. We should have done it >four years ago. -- David Gans - david@trufun.com or david@gdhour.com Truth and Fun, Inc., 484 Lake Park Ave. #102, Oakland CA 94610-2730 Blog: http://cloudsurfing.gdhour.com Web site: http://www.dgans.com Photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dgans Music: http://www.cdbaby.com/all/dgans
