As you all may have heard already, President Elect Barack Obama’s Old Chrysler 300 series sedan is up for sale on eBay… for a million bucks “buy it now” and 22 bids placing it at $110,100.
Now a used car of this make and year aught to be selling for about 15 grand… and a new one would have sold for about 40 grand in the year it was made. But all of a sudden, when one man (who, I might add, isn’t really any different from anyone else) has owned that car for three years, it’s value is multiplied by more than 66 times!
This is the kind of thing that drives me crazy! People aren’t following Barack Obama because he’s a great guy, or because they like his stand on political issues, they’re following him because… because… Oh, gee, I don’t know why.
Sorry to any Barack Obama fans out there, but I’ve only met two people who liked Obama because of his political standpoints, and one of them liked Barack Obama for the same reasons I like Ron Paul; the Iraq war.
Anyway, the point I’m trying to make is that this blind following of one man, “just because” is ludicrous and very, very dangerous.
