Obama Reality Check

[unusualmusic_lj_archive]

I've got to say that Obama needs some serious education on feminist and gay issues, to begin with. And he needs to take his Puritanical, religious streak the fuck out of the business of governing Americans fairly. And he also needs to learn that he is running for President of ALL AMERICANS, and that includes gays, women and fucking atheists as well. And finally, he needs to look closely at the logo of his party. Cause it AIN'T a fucking elephant. Its a goddamn donkey. As in, he's a DEMOCRAT, NOT A REPUBLICAN. And he needs to start acting like one. Because at the moment, I am sick and fucking tired of giving him the benefit of the doubt. Shakesville has some really cool posts on the subject:

How a President's faith can affect us all


Its time to get Obama Skeptical


What you don't know can hurt you



And this is the BASIC STUFF!

*sigh* Apparently a political party that wants to lead us into the fucking 21th century with justice, rights and liberty for all is too much to ask.

It was because of his stance on gay issues and his religion that I held my nose when I voted for him in the caucus.

It makes me so tired.

yeah. I am SO TIRED, of being cynical, of holding my nose, of wondering why the hell he doesn't get it, of wondering who the hell WILL get it, and not only get it, but articulate it well enough so OTHERS WILL GET IT. Damn it, I AM SICK OF THE DEMOCRATS RUNNING ON THE REPUBLICAN TRAIN TRACK, DAMMIT!

Can you tell I'm pissed?

Leftist and anarchist friends I respect don't vote because of this; they refuse to contribute to a system they believe is essentially broken.

I can't bring myself to take that step -- not even for national elections. But I have moved past anger into passive helpless, apathy, which is exactly what the people in power are hoping for.
