Is it even real?

So I saw on the news last night that Obama is projected to raise One Billion Dollars for his re-election campaign, One Fucking Billion dollars! My first thought was I must be living in the god damned matrix. In this time of no jobs, record debt,and all around utter misery. I suppose it makes sense, American idol got something like sixty million votes last week, we are all sheep, being herded along and brain washed by a barrage of distraction and lethargy. Where is the outrage people? How do we sit by and just allow this shit to continue? Gas is $4.00 a gallon, if you apply for a job now you have to fill out a form declaring wether or not you get public assistance or food stamps because the companies get a tax break if you do and they hire you. I can't help but look around and wonder if I'm really in some twisted dream that I just cant seem to wake up from. I don't know what the answer is, But we have all got to start asking the question Is this even real?
