So, Obama is in and I am already figuring out why it will be very difficult for me to vote for him. First of all, Barack Obama doesn’t like me. I’m a true cynic and, according to the text of his announcement speech, it’s pretty clear that he blames cynicism for just about everything. If I were to actually believe that the government was good for anything but taking, and wasting, a huge amount of my paycheck it wouldn’t be as fun to watch. I mean, what fun is watching hockey if they don’t fight?
The problem with Obama and others like him is that they either believe that the government is capable of good things or they are just saying that to grab power for themselves and those who pay their bills. Given that Obama is (a) a lawyer and (b) a politician, I find it hard to believe that he is anything other than just another self-interested ego maniac with good rhetorical skills. I’ll give him props, though, for doin’ a little blow in the 80s and just admitting it early.
So, Obama doesn’t like me and I’m starting not to like him. That works out better because games are fun to watch when you really like one of the teams but they are much more fun when you have a strong dislike for one of the teams.
