You all know how much love I have for John McCain, so I've been giving some thought to the case Cali Coug has been making and have come to the conclusion that Barack Obama really would be a great president. I have hope that he can provide free health insurance for everyone.

I have hope that he can bring our soldiers home and make the world a safer place. I have hope that he can protect Americans from poverty by printing more money at the mints.

And, I have hope that he can make me a taller, more attractive, wealthier person, immune to all illnesses. The best part is that all of these will be accomplished at absolutely no cost to me.

Some skeptics would say that he can't do these things because he hasn't had enough leadership experience, foreign policy experience, or government experience. Some would say that Obama can't provide for all our needs without doubling taxes. And, some would say that he hasn't provided one piece of a specific plan to reach these goals.

Well, to those people I ask, "Where is your hope?"

All these years I've been creating accomplishments and gathering experience to list on my resume. From now on, I'll just list my hopes and plans. All that work was so unnecessary.

False hopes? There's no such thing.

Ok, ok. I plagiarized the whole thing

Thanks for that link, Tex. If that letter to the editor was serious, it's even funnier than it could have been if it was not serious.

What's ironic about this is a couple of months ago, I was criticizing Romney for promising the people of Michigan that he would fight to get their low-skill high-paying jobs back. I was roundly criticized on cougarboard for these same things--not having any hope, being a pessimist, it's a good thing the founding fathers didn't think like me, etc.

I wonder what they're saying about Obama?

For the record, I agree with you.
