Deep Thoughts, by Chicago Sun-Times

What would be the result of an Obama presidency?

Well for one thing, multiple murders on college campuses would become a thing of the past. In fact, it is the lack of the kind of ‘hope’ that Obamessiah brings to the world that causes seemingly normal people to go off their meds and go on shooting rampages. Or so says Mary Mitchell in the Chicago Sun-Times…

If you’re wondering why Sen. Barack Obama’s message of hope has resonated with so many voters across the country, consider the shooting rampage at Northern Illinois University. […]

Like many of you, I watched the televised reports on the violence feeling completely helpless, and wondering how such a horrible thing could have happened in a place where people should feel safe.

How is it that we live in a country where a young man can get his hands on four weapons, including a shotgun?

Why are people walking around armed to the teeth?

The only reason I can think of is that too many people have lost hope.

There’s more, but I think you get the gist.

The Dems are in sad shape. They are willing to put the full weight of their collective and individual futures on the hope of one man, seemingly convinced that the power to change their lives will originate in and emanate from Washington, D.C.

Update: David Brooks asks, “What will happen when the magic fades?”

…They know that most of his hope-mongering is vaporous. They know that he knows it’s vaporous.

I hope they know. But then, we are talking about Democrats. And as we know, with the Left, thoughts never get in the way of a good feeling.
