At The End...

It all comes down to a spitting contest. Nothing new to be said, nothing different to be done. Keep chanting the last keynote sound bite. On Tuesday (or before, if you can find a voting machine), the voters will decide! Apparently, the choice is now between a Dangerous-Liberal-Leftist-Socialist or a Four-Year-Long-Bush-Rerun. These are both pretty deadly insults they hurl at each other. At this point however, my money is on the Dangerous-etc. After eight years of Bush-First-Run, there's not a lot of harm that a Socialist (OH! MY!) can still cause. Of course, the same might be said about a Four-Year-etc. as well. After the carpet-bombing of the United States socio-economic structure at the opening of the 21st century, not a lot remains of the infrastructure of society. Not much left to be destroyed. Still, one hopes for a bit of a renaissance with a new President.
Speaking of which: Candidate Obama has shown amazing organizational skills and a sure-handedness in executing a large and complicated campaign. Articulate and knowledgeable too! He's a bit of a blank slate as far as what he will actually attempt to do as president, but one hopes he will be as adept as President Obama as he has been as Candidate Obama.
I still opine that the US is an ungovernable country, no matter who's doing the governing, and it has been so for some time. Approximately since the day when Ronald Wilson Reagan convinced a large portion of the boobocracy that government wasn't Of the People, By the People, For the People but was rather the Enemy Of the People. Somehow, he sold the idea that we (the people) needed a kindly-old-uncle-Ron at the head of the government to emasculate it, and prevent it from harming us (the people). The opposite has, of course, proven to be the case. Now, perhaps, we can hope for an activist president who will get the government up-and-running again.
