“But well-educated young people are the distilled version of Mr. Obama’s supporters, and it’s a fact that younger people in the U.S. have had it with the bitterness, divisiveness and ineffectiveness that make government and politics in their eyes seem so unsavory.

They are in a better place than their elders on race. They are not shouldering the resentments of years and decades past. They are not parsing the differences between the Clinton and Obama health proposals, or obsessing over who would do better against John McCain.

They are just fed up with the status quo, and they want change. And they’ve found a rock star who embodies their desire.”

The point of this is that the young folks AREN’T so much fed up with “the bitterness, divisiveness and ineffectiveness that make government and politics in their eyes seem so unsavory” — witness the horrible nastiness of his supporters’ comments on any popular blog — nor are they “fed up with the status quo” — Obama has voted nearly the same as Clinton on every question in the Senate.

For these voters “change” is simply the color of one’s skin. Take away the fact that Obama is a mulatto and he is just as much status quo as the others in the race. What is most disheartening is the blatant acceptance that these voters aren’t “parsing” the issues but merely voting on superficiality. Obama was chosen by the Democrats after the last convention where he was given the keynote speech — they groomed him from nothing to being what he is today, the Democratic front runner.

It is indeed odd to think thatClinton is actually the outsider pulling for an upset. The Dems probably were furious when they realized that Clinton meant to take on the parties chosen favorite and they are going to make her pay for that. Either way, neither candidate will bring real “change” and I’ll be one of those people four years on that can say — “I told you so.”

This “election” is a farce.
