Yes, We Can

I've been neglecting this blog lately, horribly so. But with a very demanding real-life job these days, finding the time and clarity of mind to write something, anything, is a difficult task.

I decided to break this hiatus though, since tomorrow is a very important day. Perhaps the most important election for an entire generation of Americans is taking place, and I've never hidden the fact that I'm hoping Barrack Obama wins, something I mentioned almost a year ago.

Naturally, something I briefly talked about in my previous post, you should never trust politicians to keep their word. "Crooks and Liars" is an expression often used for them, and it's quite true in most occasions. However, there's Crooks and Liars and then there's Assholes and Criminals. If the difference is lost on you, stop reading now.

Much like how the only romantic love is the unfulfilled one, to paraphrase a quote heard in the latest Woody Allen movie, the only ideal president is the one that never was elected, or at least never managed to live out his four-year course. I don't expect that a new Golden Age of Humanity will start should Obama be elected tomorrow (CROSS YOUR FUCKING FINGERS!). I do, however, expect that some of the liberties and privileges we took for granted until a few years ago, will be returned to us.

After all is said and done, I'd challenge anyone to dispute the fact that this man has amazing charisma, gives fantastic speeches, and can actually inspire people, by his speeches alone. Is it enough to make him a great president? No. But it's already more than what most of the previous one had.

The obligatory YouTube video link this time is a related song that definitely inspires yours truly.



TL;DR version:

Obama '08, motherfuckers!

Just never forget the following axiom:

It's not the person that defines the chair, it's the chair that defines the person.
