Looking at my past postings on Daily Kos there are far too many times when I have ridden the wave of emotion to intellectual oblivion. This was no different when it came to Obama's FISA vote. Some time has passed and the musings of rational thought have managed to creep back into my head. I was advocating "cutting the funds" to the Obama campaign and even the notion of writing a candidate in come November. It is obvious these are grave mistakes if too many people were to go this route. While Obama's FISA vote is inexcusable at best, like myself, he is far from a perfect man. It only took seconds for me to think of a McCain victory to realize the true tragedy this nation faces should the so-called "straight talk" express be parked at the White House on inauguration day.
We will all have to find a way to deal with BushCo riding into the sunset unaccountable, but Obama must win should we have any chace at the future. The real 21st century begins with him. This alternate timeline of the last 8 years must be brought to an end. It must never be allowed to happen again. Finally perhaps Obama can write his own mistake of the FISA vote, by not letting them just walk away. One can hope. May peace and the power to dream return to the hearts of all humankind.
