It accurately depicts her would-be phallic campaign.

As for the boogey man, I'm not currently a resident of the US, and neither have access nor the inclination to follow right-wing propaganda. My sources of information are, for the most part, limited to interviews with the two candidates, the snipes (I went there), the Wrights, and their responses to these superficial and trivial issues. Rarely does a candidate have the opportunity (or perhaps the desire) to address actual issues of the future. This is where there is a fundamental difference between the two candidates.

Obama approaches controversy with a smile, with reasoned and well thought out words, and with an aura of inclusion. The man radiates patience and tolerance.

The last few videos of Hillary I remember seeing (and here I'm intentionally overlooking the likes of the pathetic gas station charade), I saw a wide-eyed warmonger. Obliteration and intervention was all over her agenda, she liked nothing more than to show that she would have a massive D... missiles and would not be shy to use them. She spoke of destruction and nuclear war with such zealotry, with such infantile passion, that it literally made me doubt her humanity.

Yes, humanity. A person with even a shred of human compassion, with just a tiny bit of empathy, a person with even the most vague sense of what the pain of war does to nations and regions, would not have responded in the way she did.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favor of a female president. My household is effectively run by my better half, and I believe that the women in my life, the women in my culture on average have a vital advantage over men in terms of leadership. They have a much more profound sense of empathy, compassion, and pure reason under pressure. Where men such as myself are likely to succomb to testosterone and pride, even spurs of aggression to protect said pride, women take a level-headed approach and have a better sense of long term goals and how they are to achieve them. Where men would obliterate, women would negotiate. Where men would scream threats, women would write advice.

As ridiculous as this may sound, I think Obama is more of a woman than Hillary is. She has gone from the woman we knew to a man who puzzled us, and has culminated in a warmongering hatespitting bully.

When the people are angry and in despair, they look to the president for guidance. If she is the guidance that controls the might of the American empire in the years to come, woe be it to the world. Woe be it to all who are different and misunderstood, woe be it to targets of opportunity. The World knows this well, and is paying attention to the election. The World is hoping for an America they can speak with and partner with. The World is hoping to see an America that assumes its position as a leader among equals, as a piece of our collective grand puzzle.

The World is cheering for Obama, and for an America that we once knew and loved.
