Are you kidding? If someone with no political skill such as Obama can become president, then a porn star can become a member of Congress. Hell at least she has already been a professional fucker, which is what Congress is full of.
Obama beat the Clinton machine and he has no political skill? are you retarded?
He has no skills, he reads prepared statements and uses his hip cool appareance to get people.
Please, please tell me what he had accomplished before becoming president? What legistlation had he introduced that got passed, How often would he actually vote for or against something?
He won a popularaity contest because Americans truely are become stupid thanks to TV, and the Presidential race turned into American Idol. It didn't matter about policies, it was about feelings and empty promises.
We already see the lies about not taxing the "poor" Americans more when they want to increase "sin" taxes and have, and are now talking about VAT. a flat tax across the board is going to affect the poor more than it will the rich. Taxing energy companies more, is a tax on the people that pay for it. Obama just proved that he is the best liar out of the group we had. I didn't really care about the other candidates other than I knew I wasn't going to vote based on how "cool" someone was.
The reason Ron Paul didn't get the Republican pick, and the reason you don't like him is that he tell the non sugar coated truth. The truth is scary and you can win votes by scaring people with the truth. You get votes by promising people the world.
