Obama should listen to Rmoney and "pack his bags".

Yes, you read that well. That is of course if I were President Barack Hussein Obama... which fortunately for you I am not.

He has proven to be a better human being that I will ever be in some areas, as for example, his willingness to care for reaching out to those who hate him. But even while my personal views on 'drone warfare' and the treatment of Mr Manning are miles far apart from Mr Obama's, I am open to accept him under the sad premise that humans are terribly imperfect beings. But, since this is not an argument about liberal/progressive ethical dilemmas but about a system that we can no longer recognize as our own or the corporations, I just want to explain from a different perspective, why I agree with Mr Rmoney that Pres Obama should start packing his bags. I would further add that Obama should have left us a wee bit ago... the day millionaires in congress voted against raising their own taxes to help the country they profess to love and serve.

I would damn well have left the race already and taken my family out of all things politics and continue a fruitful existence with those who love me, while continuing to help those who are appreciative of my efforts to help those in need. I would have already thrown the towel and say "so long fuckers... you want control of all aspects of American lives? Do it! I'm done trying to work surrounded by the likes of you". Like I said, you are all fortunate that I am not him. I would never want to walk on his shoes either.

Of course, I don't mean this 'quitting' as a Palinesque move motivated greatly by greed or perhaps Palin's own love for the sound of her annoying voice on TV but as my own personal boycott to the Divided-Hateful Republic of America -- that group of people who's good neurons seceded their brain long ago the evening they turn to Fox News for the first time and fell in love with Hannity's pseudo-intellect. It would be my own FUCK YOU to the hysterical masses of people who's unquestioning weak minds, filled only by the harmful venom on their hate think of me as an 'illegal alien', a 'muslin' and 'half-breed-gubmint nig'. Sometimes I wish I could read Obama's mind just to get a sense of what it feels like knowing how much one is hated for no other reason than for being brought up under a different set of circumstances. I am curious to measure human reaction to visceral hate and be able to chart it.

Imagine dragging your family to this unexpected but dangerous circus. You trying so hard to fight the hateful right by being fair to all but still being treated as lower than roach excrement. You see your daughters everyday being followed by a team of agents for part of their life and having their every move scrutinized at such young age while wondering if they themselves are trying to figure out in their little minds why their parents are hated so much. Obama could have dragged bin Laden's corpse and given it to the GOP along side a cabinet's length of proofs that the bloody corpse was indeed bin Laden's for them to feast on but, ironically, even if team six would have served the corpse cooked to perfection for the GOP to enjoy, they would have still complained about the selection of entrees offered for their banquet and the wine list from which to select the best wine to chase the bloody taste off their mouths.

Seen the evil of the teahadists and scum of the earth people like the Paul's, Trumps, Cantors, Scott's, Scala's, Becks and Limbaugh of the GOP I would have left those now infested houses of hate and privilege (Congress, White House, Supreme Court et al.) to burn down all on their own. It is a crying shame that the elections are still this close. However, when thinking about it, how a nation that finds no fault on our government disrespecting other nations sovereignty and trampling all over them would be expected to care for its own?

If I were Obama, I would have abandoned my bid for the WH under the "damn if you do, damn if you don't" game the Grand Ole Pervert party likes to play. Imagine the further disarray of the GOP trying to come up with a plan that does not involve hate towards Obama and being forced to create an actual plan with solutions for America.

End of rant.

If he did that, the GOP would swoop in, and the Hillary voters would be ready to ensure that all their years of "Of course we want Obama to succeed, but" would crown Hill in 2016, who of course would make sure we stayed to the right of Nixon.

I hope you do an evaluation of your current mindset and come back into the fold.
