Obama might stand for the freedom of opportunity in America. He also stands for the facile shallowness of a population that thrives on fantasy and denial, that will not educate itself on history, economics, or international issues, but will deign to vote for a candidate because he seems “inspiring” or has a “nice presentation” or because Oprah’s in his favor. Unfortunately for democracy, the “Airhead Factor” might be the determinate one if Obama gets nominated – millions of Americans will temporarily disengage from their TV sets, video games, chat rooms, and couches to vote for a guy who makes them “feel good” while the man has not a shred of substance, except the Marxism implied in what policies he has dared to specify and as blatantly promoted by his church. And the shallow credulity does not extend to our growing uneducated sector, but academia is, not surprisingly, shelling out for him. One prof, when asked why he supported Obama, said, “he makes me feel like the 60′s again.” wish the interviewer had then said, “You mean like on LSD?”
