Well, Mussolini made the trains run on time – and at least one San Franciscan is convinced that Obama will make the bus run on time:

Obama fever has overtaken San Francisco. Undeterred by the conspiracy theories, hatred, and vitriol spewed by Obama’s 20-year “like an uncle to me” pastor, Jeremiah Wright, local liberals are in thrall to their perceived savior. They seem to think that every problem, no matter how trivial, can be solved by Saint Obama.

As a case in point, an elderly man I was chatting with yesterday at a city bus stop about MUNI delays (a time-honored tradition in San Francisco) concluded by stating, “I hope Obama gets elected so these things will be fixed.” So, along with ending poverty and creating world peace, Obama’s going to make the buses run on time.

Playing devil’s advocate, I responded, “He’s not the Second Coming, you know,” to which the man responded, “yes, but neither is she, or he,” referring to Hillary Clinton and John McCain. “But no politician is,” I answered, “and this is a local issue, anyway.” “I’m just sick of this world, he said”, sighing, “and Obama can fix it.”

Given that the bus arrived seconds later, perhaps he was onto something.

You liberals out there do realise that Obama is just a rather conventional liberal as well as being a product of the notoriously corrupt Chicago Democratic machine, aren’t you? These are not the usual ingredients for a person who will actually change things…but, I guess it doesn’t matter. After all, the guy who thinks that Obama will fix all problems is probably one of those convinced that Chimpy McSmirk BusHitler lied us into Iraq for oil/Haliburton/Likud/what have you.

Back in 2004, I often noted the Democrats’ disconnect from reality, and I think it has only gotten worse. We do live in an Age of Lies, and I think that some people are so far gone in them – and so comfortable holding them – that there is not much we can do for them. We just have to work our way around them – and our primary task in 2008 is to beat Obama (should he gain the nomination) without pushing these people off the deep end. They’re already convinced that 2000 and 2004 were stolen by EEEVIL Republican conspiracies, and if they feel another election has been stolen from them, there’s no telling what these poor fools might do. Best thing for us to do – win big in November; so big that even a lefty who thinks Obama will make the trains run on time understands he was beaten fair and square.

    How does Obama fit any of that?

    I’m out front about what I believe. I can’t vote because I’m not a US resident. I am for Obama. He’s not perfect, but what politician is? I don’t want to argue. It’s silly.

    You have your set of beliefs. I have mine and we’ll see what happens. That’s it. It’s not really my problem until McCain attacks South America so I’m watching and seeing how it all plays out.

    If anyone wants to offer a bet, please advise and I will try to accomodate.
