SOME POLITICS 2008

Honestly, I don't like to discuss politics anymore (I paid my quote for quite long time doing it) but lets just drop some thoughts about the next elections here in U.S.A.
There are so many things that sounds familiar to me.
On one side you have the good grandpa-style candidate with the usual "traditional values" banner, "I love my ebay bought M-16" bumper sticker and the supposedly "maverick" senatorial past.
Okay, that guy is a Pass, using the screenwriting style to say "rejected."
Then, you have this young, energetic and for the first time (shame on this country) african-american candidate.
He sounds good.
Now, that's the problem he sounds good.
This guy is a natural masses speaker, a crowds hypnotizer, always have the right word or phrase that the people want to hear at the right time.
Now, as I saw, heard and suffer the government of so many guys so similar to this guy I did my homework and explored the guy's background. Not the personal one - I don't care if he used to like surfing porno on the web, crossdressing or stuff like that, that's his personal life - but the money trail, who's behind this guy.
Do it, you're going to get big surprises. I recommend to check an article of 3 years ago from Rolling Stone magazine (they're are endorsing the guy now so that article is no longer mentioned, humm.)
I'm not a spoiler, do your homework. But, there's so many fishy stuff behind this young, energetic "agent of change."
You know, I have lived so many of this kind of guys in my short life that I have a good idea about them: be careful, you can get a great disappointment.
But anyway, that's politics, a continuous great disappointment, isn't it?
