"... it frustrates and annoys because this election shouldn't even be close... to any sane, reasonable, objective, thoughful observer the choice to be made should be obvious, so obvious that for efficiency's sake we should just be able to say ok Mitt, Obama quite obviously sucks at the job, you've got a nice resume, the job's now yours and good luck cause you're gonna need it... I really want it to be that simple because I want what is fundamentally an irrational process to exhibit something that at least intimates rationality... I have trouble feeling comfortable knowing that so much rests on the opinions of people who don't have a clue what the fuck they're talking about... I wouldn't for a moment get on a plane piloted by someone who doesn't know what they're doing and yet this time next week I could be going about my usual business in a country piloted by a man who quite obviously doesn't know what the hell he's doing but has regardless been handed this august responsibility by a bunch of people who are either flat out stupid, have not been paying attention or are so addled by fantasy that they can't seem to grasp that electing as your pilot a guy who doesn't know how to fly tends to be a very bad idea... possibly that's too harsh... I understand and can reluctantly accept that certain segments of the population given the circumstances of their small lives accordingly adopt a rather limited point of view and therefore only a cartoonish character like Obama can comfortably slip into such a narrow focus... I get that... but can it really be that those benighted elements now add up to a governing plurality?... I don't know how to be at peace with something like that... I do know I sure as hell don't want on that plane..."
