The ever-ironic Times made this joke that I thought was rather telling: Obama entered Madame Tussaud's [a famous wax museum], and was soon joined by Clinton. The comment was made that, speaking of the primaries of Texas and Ohio, Whoever loses will be melted down to make McCain.
How true.
It scares me how close this nation is to getting a watered-down version of the president it really deserves. McCain had his day in the Senate, and nothing he would do as president would help this country in the ways it needs to be helped.
I think it's funny that people (usually those with no political exprience at all other than what is spoon fed to them by friends and the news) get all riled up when they find out certain things, like how Clinton took acting classes to prepare for the campaign, etc. Seriously? Jimmy Carter did. And other presidential candidates have enrolled in speaking and acting classes to help them play the game. So how about we focus on the issues and not villify someone for trying to live up our ridiculously high standards of appearances. Because that's all this show is in the end: an artificial game that we, ironically enough, force the candidates to play only to turn around and criticize them for doing so.
Hypocrite much?

I concur. Thus why I try to remain neutral when I hear of things like that. I feel like I know nothing and am too busy (and lazy) to take the time to inform myself.
Sad that this country has people like me in it. In the end though, I really do care. I'll just hope for the best till I can and want to be involved.
