Just a thought [aka the Buzz]

though I steer clear of same while posting- Barak Obama has my sympathy for his plight and all, his former antiwar stance et al but WTF is he doing running for President when that position has been made so irrelevant by its current occupant? Is running for office the only way he considers that he might change the slip sliding away of the empire? In a nutshell, it seems like a total waste of time. Not that the empire doesn't deserve to crumble. And not that the media loves to divert everyone's attention. It's the buzz that counts.
