I've been steering clear of political postings for awhile now, but occasionally, something's gotta give.  There just doesn't seem much to be proud of these days and recently reported fund raising numbers from the Obama campaign struck home. 

Yeah, he's different alright --he's personally taken the political machine to an entirely new level.  It no longer takes 100 or 200 million to get elected as President of the United States, more like a half billion or more before all is said an done.  All this while the media reports there's a recession at hand, the likes of which we haven't seen since the depression. And yet  somehow the "American people" managed to scrounge up $150 million in mere pocket change to donate to the Obama campaign. Just what kind of snake oil are they trying to sell us these days?

Thank God for campagin finance reform, can't imagine where we'd be without it. Geezz.
