I think our elective system is a joke, but those who don't vote are no better off than those who can't vote. WHile I'd like to vote for somebody like Bob Barr or Ron Paul if he ws still in it, I don't think Barack Obama is a bad choice for the leader of the U.S. I think Sarah Palin is absolutely crazy, but part of me also thinks that she's not part of the system and that she's more of an ideologue trying to stroke her ego. Barack Obama spent his whole life being groomed to be a leader, and he was influenced by some very radical thinkers. There's no doubt he was approved by the system to be our next leader, which begs one to wonder if this change is just going to be authoritarian interjection under the guise of helping the people. However, part of me thinks he just wants to serve the country.
Here's the best Barack Obama video ever
