I wish we had a much better option than Obama. He's not the fellow I, we, thought he was.
Yes, if we fail to elect the best of the bad choices we face, that being Obama, we do certainly prove ourselves to be an even more backwards nation. A nation that denies science, logic, and our responsibility to value and care for ALL of our citizens equally and fairly, denies our responsibilities to our fellow humans worldwide, proves itself to be a sad, sick, backwards, failing nation.
Even through the Vietnam era, and the Cold War years, though I believed it a better-than-even chance that we'd be nuked in our lifetime, I still managed to believe that we could perhaps evolve into something I could be proud of. Today I see these sick, ignorant, elitist Republikkkans that actually have a fair chance of success because they, and other rectums believe their own bs, and Obama, a good choice only compared to the GOP plan to finally make proper serfs of the rest of us.
Amerika is broken, failing.
We're failing to give our children a decent education, instead we just throw more technology at the problem, lay off teachers, jam more kids into classrooms, edit history and science texts to fit our increasingly warped ethic, and ultimately demand nothing of parents. We're failing to house, feed, and care for the disadvantaged, but we're busy building stadiums, so grown men can play children's games on TV for millions, while we cut firefighters, police, teachers, and other essential services. We're not doing the right thing for the veterans of our wars of empire. We're still, after all these years having the facts laid before us to see, a racist society, only somewhat better than the days of Jim Crow. The people in our rural areas are often far apart, so telcos don't provde broadband because they don't have to. I could go on, ad nauseam, but you know this stuff, folks. That Brit was too bloody well right, we're furiously proving ourselves a backward nation if those lunatic Republikkkans get elected.

Plain 'ol money, honey.
