Who's Afraid of Virginia Obama?

Welll...apparently Mr. Barack Obama is, according to the Grand Old Party (whatever), a terrorist, a womanizer, a secret (or open) Muslim, an appeaser, a radical, a peacenik, and a tax-and-spend demon (Well, BOTH parties are that--gotta feed the Pentagon, you know). Yup. He's not really any of these--just don't tell that to the not-very-literate mossback crowd. Remember, NOTHING is conservative enough for them. They won't be content until we have a theocracy `a la Khomeini circa 1980 or, for the more secular, a completely unregulated jungle capitalism where only the Richy-Rich can play, and to Hell (real or figurative) with the rest of us shlubs. Okay, okay, Barack doesn't explain too much about what he really wants for Amerkins (to quote W.), but at least he doesn't sing bizarre, unoriginal ditties about bombing faraway lands, as John "MC" McCain did some months ago.
Let's keep our fingers crossed, and pray to your deity at hand as we either go deeper into, or come out of, a new barbarism...
