Barack and the “Obamaniacs”
With the campaign dedicated to “Change” and to most, very little else of substance, Barack Obama has become not just a favorite to win the Democratic nomination for the upcoming presidential election, but he has become an icon. Hillary asking if he needs pillows to rest with while she blabs on and on referring to SNL sketches, strange Michelle Obama Quotes (His wife) saying things that most people think she should just keep to herself, and all the while becoming a legend bigger than even the great Ron Paul.
Obama supporters are insane. Yes, that’s right I said insane. If you thought the majority of Ron Paul supporters out there were nuts, just spend a few days roaming the forums and you will see that the Obama supporters, which are now dubbed “Obamanics” by me, are some damned defensive people. They talk to you like YOU are the idiot, when in most cases it is them. Saying odd things like “It’s not fair”, “I’m taking my ball and going home”, and the best of them all: “YES WE CAN!”.
Worst part of all this? Probably 3/4 of the people spouting off aren’t even registered voters. If for some reason Barack doesn’t get the nomination (Pretty likely he will at this point), are all of these people going to go hide back in their holes and wait for another 4 years before they decide to vote?
Don’t get me wrong. I am not against Obama in any way. Bringing young voters to the table is always a good thing. Well…usually I guess. We shall see. The guy obviously can spit mad game at the podium and the more I am exposed to his supporters it is quite obvious that when his collar pops the panties drop, but quit acting like idiots people. This guy is running for president, not the president of your Myspace Club. Obamaniacs are becoming like the outspoken Ron Paul supporters of the week. Your candidate takes the high road, why can’t you?

I liked the reference to the My Space club lol…it’s difficult to criticize him overall, because there’s so much hype surrounding him. Getting to the meat of the issues is where I actually think people find him boring. I agree that a lot of these “supporter” either are not voters or are registering to vote just to vote for the first African-American. I have no problem with that, but knowing exactly why they are voting for him is obviously, you know, important too.
I enjoyed that post. Great thoughts. (Don’t you like how I don’t give out any political info on myself?) Let me just say that I really enjoyed this post.
thanks for the comments. I didn’t really give out any political info on myself either :).
Since the Democratic race has heated up it is more noticeable on every forum out there so it becomes sort of relevant here. I follow along like everyone else and since this site is mainly about personalities and fads on the internet this is something I felt I should document a little over the next year or so. In my own way of course…lol
I think it’s lame to think that ANY demopublician candidate will EVER bringREAL CHANGE TO THIS COUNTRY.
This country was not founded on democratic, or republican ideas.
Rather it was founded on Libertarian principles.
I say if you want less government interference in your personal life, and less taxes, and better funding for our soldiers, then legalize freedom.
Vote Libertarian. James
You’re a fucking idiot.
