Do we want fries with that?

Whoa, gourdpainter...this is spooky!

I was pretty much going to start a thread that said the same thing.

There was one main reason I voted for Barack Obama:  Because I was sick and tired of Clintons and Bushes.  I felt they were merely opposite sides of the same coin.  (I particularly was uneasy with Papa Bush's "adoption" of Bill Clinton and the unusual "coziness" that developed between the two families.)

I really truly believed Obama and believed IN Obama.  My first "red flag" went up when he appointed Rahm Emanuel as his chief of staff.  I realize that Israel is supposed to be our friend, but do you realize just HOW many government appointees have dual citizenship with Israel (starting with Michael Chertoff, who's running "Homeland SECURITY")?  Now, I believe that Emanuel revoked his Israeli citizenship when he turned 18, but there are a BUNCH of other ones that still hold dual citizenship.  At some point, I think we have to present somewhat of a neutral stance in the Middle East, and I would question a government employee's loyalty if that person holds dual citizenship with another country.

Then when I heard that the Hillary for Secretary of State thing WASN'T just a rumor, I almost fell out of my hospital bed.  I remember during the debates how hawkish she was regarding Iran and so willing she seemed to be to start yet another Bushlike Middle East War (confirming, in my mind, the "two sides of same coin" thoughts I had).

I HATE the negative "gut feelings" I'm starting to have about Obama.  I HATE the fact that after almost eight years of mounting distrust of this government, I'm going to be skeptical about the person I thought was better even before he takes office.

I hope I'm wrong.  If I'm right, however, I don't see much point in ever voting again.  If the thread below regarding the one-world government comes to fruition, though, voting may not ever be an issue again in the former United States. 

Okay.  Two posts, and I'm wiped out for the day!  LOL.

Have a great day, everyone.
