How I Really Feel About This Obama Win in Iowa

While I may have been born is Seattle, I was raised in New York. Throughout this post, you will hear New York talking. I really don't think this is the time for being polite. I don't care who I offend, because if I don't get this all out of me, chances are I'll explode.

I was excited yesterday because it was time for Iowa to get out there and vote. I thought the polls were so close and I really, truly expected a tie, and that's what we almost had really. I had CNN on TV and sometimes MSNBC and even Fox to see what the numbers were as they were coming in. I also had CNN's website on my laptop because they were giving us live action from inside the caucus rooms.

Then it happened. The media projected Obama as the winner.

I was stunned. I kept waiting for more results. I kept hoping as other precients reported, Hillary and Edwards would take it. Nope. That never happened.

And there was his face, all over the news, annoying the shit out of me, making me want to throw something at my own TV so it would all stop. I was not happy with Obama's lead.

How do I explain about how I feel about Obama? I've never liked him. I've watched this race with both eyes as each candidate announced they were in. I have listened to each and every one of them at the debates, read their websites, listened to the news, etc. And here we are, at a crucial time in our history, when America desperately needs a good, experienced president, and what did Iowa give us? Obama.

Unfuckingreal.

Unfuckingreal.

You can't be serious?

Are you fucking kidding?

Over Clinton? Over Edwards? Over Biden? Over all the others....?

No fucking way.

I can't take this. I'm pissed. In fact, someone could've set me on fire and I would have been less pissed off at that then I was at this.

In case you don't understand why I'm angry, please realize that we Democrats have eaten too much shit from Bush over the last 7 years, let's not even talk about what was done to Gore, or Kerry; forget about Iraq, the economy, Valerie Plame, Monica Lewinsky, the Clinton witch hunt; the complete disregard for our Consitution, and everything else, all I wanted was for us to seize the moment and choose a qualified Democrat to bring us victory this November. Did I ask for too much? Apparently I did.

And look at us now. Going into New Hampshire, with idiots standing behind Obama. With Obama saying he can win the White House if he wins in NH. Excuse me, but stop lying, pal. YOU CAN'T WIN THE WHITE HOUSE NO MATTER HOW MANY STATES YOU TAKE NOW. And therein lies my problem. I know that Obama is NOT the person to deliver a Democratic victory in '08. I am furious because others CAN win, like Clinton, or Edwards, two very fine candidates with qualifications and experience that would remedy the ills of America.

But no, now this. Now it's possible that Obama may win the nomination someday, and then he'll have to fight against Republicans. And I don't care much he dreams of uniting people and all this crap about "change" and "hope" which at the end of the day mean nothing because he's never told me anything memorable. The only point he drive home was that nonsense about him not voting for the Iraq war. Someone please give him a cookie and tell him to get lost. Obama can't and won't defeat Republicans. At least, I sure don't think so. This is a disaster. It's not what America needs right now.

So, here and now, I have to wonder what is wrong with some of the people voting in this country? Do we want to become irrelevant? Do we want to sink in status around the world? Do we want Republicans to win again? Well, it sure seems like it.

I don't know about you, but I sure hope voters all across America wake up and smell the damn coffee. This is not the time to gamble on some newbie like Obama, because if we do, we're going to lose, and we'll more than just the election, we'll lose all hope of ever recovering from the politices and errors of George W. Bush. And what should have been a temporary disaster will (most likely) become a permanent one. Tonight, I'm praying that voters in New Hampshire are smarter than the ones in Iowa.
