A mass delusion
Feb. 20th, 2008 03:53 pmTo my friends who are getting annoyed with my political obsession - please don't unfriend me :) I'll get over it soon, I promise!
Just wanted to save this quote from Newsweek:
The contrast between his broad rhetoric and his narrow agenda is stark, and yet the media—preoccupied with the political "horse race"—have treated his invocation of "change" as a serious idea rather than a shallow campaign slogan. He seems to have hypnotized much of the media and the public with his eloquence and the symbolism of his life story. The result is a mass delusion that Obama is forthrightly engaging the nation's major problems when, so far, he isn't.

Date: 2008-02-21 01:08 am (UTC)республиканцы имеют шанс на будующих выборах(2012), если будующий президент (а он БУДЕТ демократом, сомнений ни у кого нет) завалит всё к чёртовой бабушке (а Обама завалит таки, республиканцы наверху отнюдь не идиоты, когда дело касается таких расчётов). Так вот, пресса поддерживает Обаму именно из этих расчётов, я в "свободную" прессу не верю ;). Как? Сойдёт?
