Here is a quote from some of the comments on an article in the British Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2008/06/09/do0901.xml
The article is a good read and this comment was interesting. I always like to get a view on the american politics from a different (albeit slanted) viewpoint

Bill Clinton was absolutely correct
when he said Barack Obama's candidacy is a fantasy (and that IS what he meant his objections not withstanding). Obama is the anti-Colin Powell and displays all the
venality and opportunism that makes
him supremely unqualified to be anywhere remotely near the White
House (and is why, for all the correct and opposite reasons, Colin
Powell is the obvious 'ethnic' candidate to be President because
he considers himself an American
first and foremost and an Afro- Jamaican only distantly).
The much-maligned working class
rural White folk in America (of which
Obama and many media hacks view
with derision) are far more intelligent than Obama or his
acolytes give them credit. Obama
is opposed by many working-class
(not all mind you) people because
they know a fraud when they see one.
Obama is an empty suit who used
south Chicago natives to rise to
power on post-Black nationalism
and Black victimology rhetoric,
and know that he no longer needs
these people, who has discarded
them perforce. Obama is the penultimate con artist-an Ivy League
Jesse Jackson.
Unfortunately, many so-called educated
American voters are naive and immature
and translate their hatred of Bush
(I am no fan of Bush either) into
silly neo-Hippie Berkelian ideology
which has no place in America.
An analogy to Cuba, of all places,
is in order, Cubans dumped one buffoon for another, when Bautista
was replaced by Castro; their ideologies far apart, but not their
buffoonery.
McCain is not perfect and has his
faults and idiosyncracies (as we
all do) but he is no buffoon.
