This rampant and unreasonable adulation for Oprahma reminds me of another overdone 'bubble'. That would be the .dot com madness that resulted in widespread financial loses in the United States. Recently, the media has found itself wading into the social cesspool I have afffectionately labeled 'Infirmative Action'. Open ended and never ending social programs designed to level the playing field are ill advised. Even on of the most disasterous give-away programs in our Nation's history, welfare; was redesigned to mandate those on the program get out, find work, and reduce it's rolls. After more than twenty years, 'Infirmative Action' has done it's job and run it's course. No one ever talks about when the program should retire; Oprahma merely states 'he supports it'. Of course, how would Oprahma ever garner the vote he so wildly cherishes without supporting 'Infirmative Action'? To hear otherwise intelligent and responsible people make the wild and unsubstantiated claim that racial tolerance and fair opportunity has actually gone in reverse makes me laugh, they are out of touch with reality. To them the glass is and shall ALWAYS be half empty; how better to force the extension of a program that should have ended ten years ago? Those that support 'Infirmative Action' rarely acknowledge social progress and remain in perpetual 'victim mode' their entire lives, taking everyone else down with them. Those that support 'Infirmative Action' won't be happy until the people it was designed to 'help' have ALL the good jobs in the country and everyone else can hand out shopping carts at the local department store; they figure 'better you than me'. That dog don't hunt.

Of course it's terrible that Barack Obama have enthusiastic support. That is, of course, reserved for candidates such as George W. Bush, who Pat Robertson declared to be God's choice for president.

Or was that, as usual for Republicans, DIFFERENT?

It's just laughable to hear republicans talk about how horrible it is that a democrat is receiving "adulation" from his supporters.

These are the people who have lobbied to get Reagan's face added to Mt.Rushmore. And who could forget that circle jerk of a debate at the Reagan library where each of the republican candidates jumped up and claimed to be the next incarnation of Reagan. It looked like that scene in Sparticus where all of his men jumped up and claimed to his name so that they would share his fate.

Well whoever gets the presidency, its a bad deal for all concerned.

More meaningless tripe from the redkittycat.

Just stay home then and leave making decisions to the grownups.
