A Clear Choice

From 2Millionth Web Log

Look, I'm getting too old and for some time have been too cynical to think of politicians as heroes, philosopher or warrior kings, etc. and whatnot. EVERY election, even the last one, is a lesser of evils thing for me. There will be times that Barack Obama's decisions will, at the very least, disappoint the hell out of me. Shit, he's a Democrat. Disappointing progressives is in the Democratic Party's blood.

Still...his address yesterday was something that all of us can and should be proud of. Obama speaks to us as adults, and he speaks to the rest of the world as adults.

In contrast, your average wingnut seems to have the mental age of a teenager.

Or a drunken teenager.

Which would all be fine and amusing if the stakes weren't so high...
