Yes, we can.

What I meant didn't make sense was the "make one with Obama and Hillary" thing. Unless somehow voting for Obama would be a continuation of Hillary Clinton's presidential legacy.

And I really don't understand how voting for Obama because he inspires is the same as not voting for McCain because he's Chinese. It is the same as voting for McCain because he has convinced you that he can be trusted in a way that is important to you. It may not be the most rigorous standard but neither is it simple idiocy.

The first part was a joke. Her avatar made me laugh, and I thought one of Obama and Hillary (who was at least co-President in the last dem adminstration) would be funny.

Ok, but it still doesn't make sense.

Perhaps this is just me. I don't look to politicians to inspire me. Reagan did inspire me, certainly, but my devotion to the man came from his policies. Clinton was a hell of a lot more inspiring in 1992 than was Perot or GHWBush, but he didn't get my vote. Likewise in 1996 with Dole.
