Pretty Girls

I'm long out of high school, but after listening to Barrack Obama for a couple of months, all I can think of is Pretty Girl Disease. You know the blond cheerleader who got her books carried home, and test answers slipped to her, and every door opened by a willing suitor. She may have ended up in the big house with the pool and the convertible, but unless she was a person of the highest character, she is also shallow, self-centered, ungrateful, and endowed with a colossal sense of entitlement.

And, frankly, much as I dislike McCain, I can at least sense some character there - Obama, nothing.

His entire life, the guy has been graded on the curve by people who saw in him validation of their own beliefs... "He's good-looking, glib, and fashionably dark, and he's going places! Oh boy aren't we just the grandest for supporting programs that made him possible."

And the press, and worshipful followers, are like the ugly kids who flock around the pretty ones hoping some of the glamor will rub off.

I hope I'm not naive, and I know you search the closets of any politician at your peril, and character is not the sole criterion for casting a vote, but when one candidate has some and the other guy has none, it becomes difficult to ignore.

Well, BHO is pretty much an empty bucket. No resumé, no track record, no accomplishments 'cept he's purty and he talks good. Once the honeymoon is over with his acolytes there's gonna be hell to pay.

Maybe he would buck up a bit if he spent a week going to the range with you, making ammo, and having to pump his own gas, et. et.

Or if he read a copy of: http://www.amazon.com/Hell-Was-There-Elmer-Keith/dp/0941540162

Obama is the human Rorschach test. I've never seen a politician with less character and substance.

Oh, and I laughed at "fashionably dark" I guess that means I'm racist?

You guys are seriously misled if you think being "fashionably dark", as you put it, makes it easier in life.
