Watching some of the most militant supporters of Hillary throw public tantrums because "their girl" wasn't picked, I am really reminded of how childish the politics are in this country.
The fact that Obama's policies are almost identical to Hillary's and that he would push the agenda at least as (if not more) progressive than Hillary, does not faze them. Hillary lost the primary and this reflects poorly on them. This election is about their personal feelings which have been hurt beyond repair. They have to be "acknowledged," "their feelings" respected...I have one message for them: GROW THE F$%#@$# UP!!!! Seriously!
In this election so much is at stake: the possibility of another war; getting out of Iraq; US' respect in the world; the composition of the Supreme Court for years to come; the state of workers' rights (currently non-existent), and the list goes on. But these people (like most of us) have been told from early on, that they are at the center of the universe, and that the world revolves around them. Well, it doesn't.
And if Obama doesn't win, we don't deserve to have better leaders. To quote Bill Maher: "The American people get the leaders they deserve. And they don't deserve very good leaders."
