In what seems to be a new trend of bucking the system, the Democrats have come out of their shells emboldened and ready to kick some ass. The memories of their impotent do-nothingness being erased, the Democrats are in the process of writing a new chapter in political history. With the majority they have secured, Democrats are stonewalling and standing up for something, which, frankly, is refreshing.
The past six years, it has been sort of depressing to be a liberal democrat, seeing the entire world go to shit at the hands of a crazy man and his anal dwelling congress/administration. At this point it seems that as long as Bush and his supporters keep talking, his opposition will continue to grow. I really had never thought I would see rational thinking in Washington again.
With this new bold approach to politics have come the men and women who deem themselves worthy to be candidates for a seat in the Oval Office(a seat that will undoubtedly need to be steam cleaned, if not replaced entirely...Don't even think about mentioning Clinton's chair...eventually that will be a fixture in the Smithsonian.)
Among these candidates is Illinois congressman Barack Obama. Obama has been a target of ridicule by the conservatives in the media for his name, among other things. I guess having the name Barack Hussein Obama can do that. Fortunately, he is a serious candidate; he's got the chops to see this through, and possibly win the nomination. As the keynote speaker at the last DNC, he put his name on the map in distinguished fashion. Now he is defending erroneous attacks that he spent part of his childhood in an Islamic madrassa, a claim that is baseless, and has been proven completely false. Instead of the rote answer that we have come to expect, Obama is attacking back, accusing the right of trying to slam him with baseless accusations.
Does he have the chops to see this through? Only time will tell, but he's already gone over the drug hump. There will be no impotent "I didn't inhale" in this presidential race. Obama has admitted in his book that he did indeed do drugs at a younger age. He has been open about his life, his past, and the mistakes he's made. Let's hear it for a little honesty in politics, and vigorously fight those who would combat that honesty with lies and baseless accusations!

Obama stood on the floor of the capitol yesterday and showed why people are so excited about him running for president.
