A Load Of Baracks?

So...

I see Barack Obama has put in his bid to become President. I expect some people will be thinking, "if there is a black President then things will be better for the average black American."

Think again, because this will not necessarily be the case. After all, look what happened in the United Kingdom when Margaret Thatcher was elected. She was a woman, but did that make things better for women? No, it didn’t. Her sympathies extended to her own class and subspecies of cow. Improving the lot of a single mother trying to hold down a job was not on her list of things to do, and if it was, it would have just read, "put in workhouse and send child up chimney to clean."

There are other examples:

Reagan was a mad old bastard, but he didn’t improve life for other mad old bastards unless they too, happened to be rich.

Clinton liked being blown in the oval office but it was still just as hard for the ordinary man on the street to get a blowjob, even though, despite what the republicans say, he had a good chance of actually finding a real job.

You see what I mean. So if you’re expecting a better deal for minorities from Obama just because he happens to be black then don’t hold your breath. It would be like saying ‘George Bush is a human being, so he will make things better for other human beings.’ It just doesn’t work, particularly in the case of President Bush. Just because you have something in common with the President or Presidential candidate doesn’t mean he will act upon what is common to you both. Unless of course you happen to be a complete and utter selfish bastard with a rich dad in which case Bush has given you massive tax cuts while pissing on the poor huddled masses in which case, I guess you can prove me wrong...
