it's particularly funny to see this curious argument turned in the end to a critique of obama as manufactured.
that you repeat the problem with your own argument in the attempt to make that argument operational makes me wonder what you think of self-mockery and how you feel about doing it.
either way, is this is how you're participating in the elections?
funny stuff.

roachie - I believe your response only further validates my point, Your reaction to Pan's "spiritual leader" reference is a perfect example of willful partisan hypocrisy. It happens all the time with ideological herd mentality.
Is Obama being manufactured worse than calling McCain a panderer? What is your complaint?
At this stage in the game, my participation in the election is to vote.
