baking on the domestic front, and I think he'd be fearless
taking on congress. One other reason I like Rudi, I think the only job he
ever wanted was mayor of New York, and if he could have kept that job I bet
he would have. That would make him the only president in our history for
whom the office was a consolation prize, and as one who thinks as dimly about
politics as I do I like that.
I have no idea what Obama actually believes in. He harps (eloquently, though
emptily) about 'Change.' Well hos, you don't need to agitate for change,
it'll be here soon enough. What the hell are you going to DO about it? That
said, the rest of the Democrats are so completely contemptible I couldn't
think of voting for them. Additionally, Obama seems very, very smart, and
perhaps most importantly very willing to learn from other people. Let's face
it, 95% of being president is picking the right people and the right advice.
Lastly, and I might get in trouble here, I like the fact that he is black.
Dark skinned people have an intuitive, visceral understanding of what it's
like getting screwed over by white people. I can't imagine that a black president
would view situations like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the war in Afghanistan,
Chechnya an the rest of the former Soviet states, etc. and so forth in the
same way as a white president. This isn't a policy thing, it's an issue of
perspective.
Lastly, what I really wish would happen during a debate is for a reporter
to say, 'We have somewhere between 200 billion and half a trillion dollars
of underwater mortgage backed debt as of today. Will you prop up the holders
of those mortgages to avoid default? If Citibank become insolvent, will you
prop them up? Will you do nothing and let the market decide? If you plan
to bail out the lenders, borrowers, or both, what funds will you use?' It
would be pretty tricky to start jabbering about 9/11 or CHANGE when answering
that question.
