For me 1992 was the first one i followed closely but it was all based on tv and newspaper reports. That one was huge as Bush Sr went from being the most loved president to one of the least in the span of 1 YEAR!! Bill Clinton had a surge of popularity like Obama is having today and Ross Perot was one of the most visible 3rd party candidates ever. Other than that - the others I remember were all snoozes (1988, 1996, 2004). 2000 was memorable but for all the wrong reasons.

One like this one with no standing US Prez or VP running with the potential of history being made (first black or woman Prez) wont come around for a long while.

LOL, that's crazy. I don't agree with him on anywhere near every issue, but I agree with him on a few important ones. The most critical one is Iraq. I completely DISAGREE with him on ethanol. It's an awful alternative fuel source and it's a damn shame that so many politicians are trying to pass it off as a legit one. It's not anywhere near as efficient as gasoline, it's very corrosive in transport so you have to have better tanker trucks (more $$$$), it takes more energy to create it than you get out of it, and at the moment corn is the main source. We cannot afford to screw with our corn supply because then it messes with the entire economy because corn is used to feed livestock and it's used even in stupid shit like sodas and so many other things that we don't think about. You screw with the corn supply, the price goes up, and suddenly you screw over the entire economy.

I think this belongs here...


Obama in Senate: Star Power, Minor Role

BUMP this baby up since this thread seems rather accurate in all things considered when it comes to the Rev Wright's comments and Pope Obama being a follower of his Church for what?? 20 Years and him and his wife were married by this guy??? Doesn't look good for The Cult of Obama now does it??
