I don't pay much attention to the every 4 year hoo-haw that goes on in this country other than rip the candidates such as holey underwear Rom-knees. Friends like to say that Obama got elected because by 2008 most of the country hated bush so wanted to flush Republicans down the toilet. And many that voted for Obama because they believed he would trash all the fascist stuff that president Cheney put in effect (Dubya was just his hand puppet). Didn't happen.
Of course we have people who couldn't run a lemonade stand believing that a corporate CEO like Rom-knees can do a better job running the country. That's going from the frying pan into the fire as far as neo-liberalism goes and one step farther into the corporate communist world of "Blade Runner". That's right, the sheeple who support Rom-knees and the Republican party are supporting a form of communism coming into existence. Of course most of them are too dumb to ever even provide a definition of communism. As for Yahoo I like to use them as a sort of "moderate" link for news stories but I've noticed their leaning to some kind of corporatist "decorum" but that is not unusual for many of the news outlets. I got a item in the email this morning from LinkedIn that Yahoo's new CEO replacing the CMO while they were on vacation. I know that sends shockwaves throughout a corporation. It did when my job role was changed while I was away to a Microsoft developers seminar on DirectX. I was essentially "demoted" while away by my new boss and I essentially came back as said "fuck you" and gave notice.
