Barack Obama is "fired up."

He did it! Barack Obama just knocked himself and Hillary right out of contention for the democratic Presidential nomination. The two least qualified people on the planet should negate each other in the primaries. Thank goodness he decided to run now and dash Hillary's chances. On the plus side, Senator Obama gave a rousing speech but unfortunately called out "failure of leadership." Whether he is talking about the President, congress, or both this was a mistake. The congress has flopped to the other party and so far they haven't done anything either so you can't stand on them, and the President is leaving in 2008 no matter what. He also threw out something about universal healthcare, but he will soon see that no one wants to pay for such a grandiose idea. Lastly, he says he has a plan to withdraw troops from Iraq by sometime next year. I hope we get to see this plan since, so far, no one can produce anything except to tell the President they don't like his plan. If you're going to complain, at least come up with an alternative.

If you are a Hillary Clinton supporter and believe that this man is not qualified based on his lack of experience, just remember this:
1. He's been a Senator almost as long as her.
2. He actually lived in the state where he got elected.
3. He actually got elected for who he is, not who he is married to.

A friend told me the other day that it's amazing watch Democrats snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with their crappy candidates. John Edwards is the front runner for their nomination by default. The sad truth is Al Gore, complete moron, could announce his candidacy a week before the primary and beat all these clowns for the nomination. Why you ask is that; he invented the Internet and then discovered global warming since being thumped in 2000. I hope we get someone with their own ideas running. I don't want anyone elected because we think their skin color or gender qualifies them for anything, that applies to Republicans as well.
