My immediate reaction was to come up with some snark about how electing Obama would mean that I won't have to worry about upgrading to Windows 7 because The One will take care of it for me.

I can see why electing Obama would be a transforming thing in a lot of ways for a lot of people. And all things remaining equal I would like to see it happen also. John McCain isn't my fav but he is right about more of the important issues than is Barack Obama. If Thomas Sowell were running, I wouldn't just be voting for him, I would be phone-banking for him.

When the video above started I was thinking that the lady was moved emotionally just by the very fact of the Obama candidacy and, whether he wins or not, by its actual viability. And that she took her daughters out of school to show her all of this in the same way that I would always point out female astronauts to my young daughter. And there is probably some of that.

But the last part proved to be disappointing to me. That it came down to Obama taking care of her gas bill worries and her mortgage worries.

But in the disappointment area, I am getting off easy compared to her should Obama be elected. Because there will come a time when she realizes that he isn't going to pay her gas bill or her mortgage for her. I only hope that she doesn't run up even bigger bills thinking that they, too, will be taken care of by an Obama government.

Nobody is stupid enough to do such a thing, you say?
