As a definite "non-Obama" supporter, I hope that I have cleared things up for you.
So just because Obama is really smart, and well educated and articulate and has managed his campaign superbly, we shouldn't be fooled into thinking he'd make a good president.

And just because McCain is really old, and hasn't accomplished much in all those years, and has run a disaster of a campaign, we shouldn't be fooled into thinking that he'd be a disaster of a president.

Because knowing all that is just confusing us.

And just because the right wing agenda has been a disaster the last 7 1/2 years doesn't mean that it wouldn't work superbly in the future.

And just because the left took us from the depths of the Great Depression to being the greatest nation on earth with their agenda, we shouldn't be fooled into thinking it will work again.

What should we be fooled into thinking?
