DELUSIONAL...

... because they have been swept by his beautiful words and are now heading into a state of hysteria.

They are like mindless massess before a cult leader, whose words take them to a state of nirvana based on irrational bliss. They have become like fans before a rock star, or devout believers before their messiah.

The reality is that politics are a reflection of human nature. Obama, despite all his talents cannot change human nature -- especially of those who are immune to his preaching. If his message is so great, why are his supporters filled with such hate for Clintons? If his message is to unite, why have we become more divided as his candidacy gains momentum? Is he more the same or just delivering more self-serving promises of a change in the way politics is done?

Please call me cynical, I'd so much rather be that than delusional.

The only way to bring about bipartisanship is to focus on the issues. The change we need in our campaigns is for the voting public to vote on the issues, not on political theory of bipartisanship or their popularity. How do we hold someone accountable for fullfilling his campaign promise of bipartisanship? And say if he did, how do we hold him accountable to the desired results to the issues we face? Why should we confine our leaders in their way of delivering those results by making bipartisanship a bigger priority than the issues?

It is also rediculous that we have a movement for 'bipartisanship'. The fact that it is even being compared with other historical movements like the civil rights movement is downright insulting to our intelligence as a nation.

Ask yourselves: Hope for what? Change for what? 'Yes we can' what? Creating a movement on these fanciful words will at somepoint hit the wall of reality.
