'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Fuck, I don't want Obama to run now. He hasn't done shit. I would really like somebody as president that's accomplished a few things and knows something about statesmanship. Not a freshman Senator. I don't need some charismatic do-gooder bumbling around in office and getting picked off by the republican sharks.
Damn you, Al Gore! Why don't you run?
I like even more how the British say it: Nut-ellaI thought that was how to say it. Of course, I've never had it. It doesn't appeal to me.
What?? I do like Nutella.
I remember. I was waiting for your defense of it.
But David, doesn't Obama fit well into your Elvis theory of Presidential politics?
Why, god, why? Why do I question my ultimate boss on things that I know damn well she knows more about than I do??
I mean, really. Such an ass.
Damn you, Al Gore! Why don't you run?
In my mind, Al is just waiting for the first wave of candidates to burn out so he can step in at the last minute and be the only guy whose dirty laundry hasn't been waved constantly under our collective American nose for the last 18 months.
Obama can be his Veep.

Ooh - that looks cool!
But David, doesn't Obama fit well into your Elvis theory of Presidential politics?
It's not my theory, but yeah, he does. Though Edwards also has a bit of Elvis in him, and I think he'd probably win the nod.
I love Al Gore. I believe he should have been my president, lo these past seven years, but I don't think he has the proverbial snowball's chance in hell, and he let himself be so mishandled during the 2000 Election, that I really don't think he had the stuff.
And when I say I love Al Gore, I really mean it. I used to have this whole big schtick about Al being bred and groomed for the presidency, only to wake up and find this mutt from Arkansas got the top job. I love him, but he's not a winner, and he has too much baggage.
I don't think Obama's chances are much better, but that's because of his lack of seasoning. He's got something, though -- something pulled from the rubble of what was once bright and shiny about our country, and...I'll shut up, because I'm making him into Barak Sue. Can't you see his violet eyes, from here?

DAMN, do I ever miss Clinton.
