from Atrios (the other Duncan)

Atrios relates this unattributed quote (ah, from here):

Imagine it's 2001. George Bush has just been selected by the Supreme Court. You really don't like George Bush. Then some guy claiming to be from the future shows up and tells you that George Bush is going to fuck things up so badly that the next president is going to be a black Democrat named Barack Hussein Obama. You probably don't believe him.

This resonates with me. I just am glad that Obama looks like the right man to get us out of this mess.
