Hi, Broken Record?

This is not being sad to inflame anyone, but for serious.

I have never heard Obama say a word other than 'change'.

Totally. His speeches 'change change change change I WANT TO BE PRESIDENT PLEASE change change change change CHANGE SERIOUSLY CHANGE Hillary sucks she has a vagina CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE change?"

That was tongue in cheek, yes, but whoa.

PS: I am a Hillary girl, and Canadian, and therefore my opinion means nothing, but wow, would I ever NOT vote for someone who the opposition is DYING to debate with. Bad sign.

PPS: I also have a problem with unrealistic promises. Yes, I'm getting serious now. "EVERYONE WILL BE BACK FROM IRAQ IN TWO WEEKS!" Sure. It just rings false. Yes, Obama appears to be the complete opposite of the a-hole in the oval office at the moment, but he just strikes me as a grandstander. There's nothing concrete. Arghhhhhhhhhhh. I've been tearing my hair out for days, watching him sweep the polls, and wondering...

I suppose I don't get it. I don't. I know this will piss off some of the flist, and I'm sorry. I suppose I have some trust issues with the US of A. Bush won TWICE. I mean, that is all kinds of wrong. I just... worry.
