Of the many things which disturb me about Barack Obama is his penchant for secrecy which rivals that of the Bush administration. For a man who espouses themes of "hope" and "change," I'm not seeing a lot of personality deviation from the current occupant of the White House. A curious exhibit: why won't Obama release his birth certificate?

Daily KOS claimed to have a copy and posted it. However, even to the layman, the thing posted on the website of the great rancid cheeto looks, well... as fake as Pamela Anderson's tits. An independent weblogger posted a full deconstruction of the alleged document. I can't say I disagree with the deconstruction - I've used Photoshop, I know how to make a fake certificate (no, I won't make one for you - don't bother asking).

Why the secrecy? There's no reason for it...it is utterly perplexing...

Hillary also won the popular vote and, had the superdelegates all endorsed in the same way each of their states' voted, she would have had a huge lead over Obama when all was said and done. So, yeah, clusterfuck indeed. Hillary was the only candidate who I wanted to vote for.

A McCain presidency doesn't make me panic for two reasons: 1.) He can't bring down Roe v Wade if a Democratic majority in the House blocks all of his judicial appointments - Bush had eight years to kill Roe v Wade and failed (like most other aspects of his presidency). 2.) It is possible - perhaps remotely - that McCain will rediscover his "maverick" side during the course of his campaign and work to bring the Republicans back to being the progressive party of Lincoln. The two parties have switched positions in regard to social progress before, and I don't doubt that it may someday happen again. If McCain channels Abraham Lincoln with a hearty dollop of Theodore Roosevelt, he could easily crush Obama

Either way, I think I may be able to more easily stomach four years of McCain than whatever Obama has planned in the form of some sort of neoliberalism.
