For those who hadn't figured out the title, this journal is a rant.

You can just skip now if you want.

What is the topic I am going to start flaming about?

America's absoulte resentment on Barack Obama.

FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST ALMIGHTY, SHUT THE HELL UP!!!

Now, I'm a socialist, come back here, I'm not finished. I'm a socialist, and I couldn't have been happier to have some who know's what he's doing running the American Empire. Except most of it's citizens are dipleased by the fact that the guy ruling them is of the wrong party, and the wrong colour.

How petty do you have to bloody be? This is Cold War thinking, along with civil rights thrown in. They, hate, left wing polocies. Absolutly loath it. And all because of around 60-70 years of being afraid, that a man named Ivan who can't speak english will march into suburbia and take away your cheeseburgers and replace them with borscht, all the while burning Old Glory whilst doing unspeakable things with Lady Liberty and that torch. (Don't think too much into that last one. If you do, I dare you to make a picture of it.)

Of course, since ye olde Soviet Union haven't been around since the early nineties, America has gone a tad astray a bit. They tried Somalia, made a film. They tried Iraq, made a movie. Yugoslavia, made several movies. Until the day we are never going to forget. Which they then went to Afghanistan, and stayed there. And Iraq, again. And made films, books, TV shows and video games. All for the Stars and Bars.

Except whilst the idea of driving a tank through burning ruins exploderising anything not the same colour, race, uniform, flag, religion or name as you sounds exactly like any sociopaths wet dream, and get praise for it, there is the one constantly overlooked area that most people seem to forget. The bit about death.

How can anyone, who have been brought up on war movies and the right wing, overlook the very, very clear fact, that you are going to get shot/blown up/dysentry are going to go through it without a scracth? Even those ones where the buddy dies in the hero's arms, giving him the strength and courage to take out yet another English accented villian? Because whilst Tom Cruise and Ben Affleck are doing it, the are real soldiers out there doing it for real, except the main villian isn't advertising where he is, his minions are everywhere, and the credits are never going to roll.

Shit, I've gone off tangent. Okay.

The second Iraq war was started by King Bush the Second, or as I shall always call it, the Madness of Pres George. Yes, Dubya was for the most part of eight, long, long years, a blithering idiot. ot because he is, beacuse his buddies was King Bush the First's lackeys. 20th century thinking, in 21st century circumstances. Who would have thought it would have gone so wrong?

Now, looking back on the election, when Dubya realise he can't go for a third term like Nixon did in that limey comic, it was a very open race. Anyone could have won. Mitt Romeny, Ruddy Gilianni, hell, even Lady Clinton her bllody self! Until the elephants brought out a younger version of the Hill. Palin.

Oh, where to begin.

Killed a moose with her bare hands, a hockey mom, can see Russia from her house, the infamous pig lipstick comment...

Anyway. It then came down to two opponents. A young whipper snapper, radical policies, and whats more, he isn't the same colour as the Jones' next door! And, an old, bitter war vet who was basicly Cheny gone off the deep end.

Right, show off hands. Who'd thought Obama would have won the election? Anyone?

I sure as hell didn't. Alright, I'd admit I was complety anti-american in 2005, and 2006, in 2007 it got a tad wavering, and by 2008 I gave up. Christ, you'd give up hating a country just becuase you got bored of it. But I had the gut feeling, that they would never, ever, put a black man into the White House.

Guess what happened.

Watching the opening ceremony, I was praticly waiting for a Lee Harvey Oswold fan to test out his new rifle. And it didn't happen. I was relived. America learnt it's lesson, and decided to start from scratch again. I was overfilled with joy, and start liking american war films again.

Until someone asked about his heritage.

And polocies.

And skin.

Now, whilst the country has gone left, the right remained. And were very pissed. They remembered all the SNL skits. The Michael Moore films. The internet.

It's their turn.

Let me point out, this is still the first year Obama's been in office. After Eight years of the Dubying down. After being knocked off the top perch, the right are scrambling and clawing their way back. Using the same weapons that took out their dear leader. The Internet.

People, we have another three years of this until he is out voted by the rednecks, hillbillys and angry white housewives, and replaced with Palin. Then we get another film showing Matt Damon over the corpse of Ahmadinejad with with red white and blue over his head. Don't think it won't happen.
