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.

Sometimes, I hear him making slightly wry remarks about the inerrancy and timelessness of the Bible, and it's a little encouraging, and then when I'm feeling generous, I interpret his nods to religion as obligatory. Maybe I am being duped. Maybe he's as willing to compromise for the sake of the status quo as anyone else. Maybe my curiosity about the next 4 years is justified, but not sufficiently morbid. This post has been a downer for me.

Trust, the articles didn't make me leap for joy either. I am pissed because all this potential to change the Overton window is going down the drain.
