How many out there watched the Obamamercial last night? I tuned into our local Tampa Bay channel and there was Obama looking very Presidential. My buddies were betting on whether he’d sit behind a nice mahogany desk with Americans flags, flanking gold drapes, in the background or, would he sit on a desk and be casual. I bet he’d sit his ass on a desk and I won five bucks! Thanks Obama! He’s not even been elected yet and he made me five bucks!
Seriously, this man has run one hell of a race and I hope he wins. If Obama can outwit the Republican party and raise record campaign cash - then I can just imagine what he’ll do when he comes into office in January.
Out with the old (Bush-boy) and in with the new - Obama. Yes, I’m holding onto that picture.
It will be my absolute pleasure to watch Bush get into the Presidential limo for the last time. Remember, when Bush went to his first Inauguration? There were riots (so to speak) and of course, they didn’t show that on television.
A black man in the white house? Yeah, that’s about as progressive as this country has come in the last 100 years. Who would have thought that this was even a possibility? I’m a southern Caucasian boy and I live in a town where they still fly the rebel flag and where the KKK was alive with many members - not too long ago.
This is a white neighborhood (and town) where if you’re black, you keep driving and don’t stop…
Needless to say, I think that people of ALL races will come (and are) coming together to put Obama in charge of the Free World and that’s the people talking. Hopefully, those in control of the Electoral College don’t screw with the will of people. In fact, I think the rest of the world will view us in a more favorable light and view us as a progressive nation of people.
No longer will I have to travel to Europe and pretend to be a Canadian…
Yes, that’s what many Americans do traveling throughout Europe, we don Canadian flag pins on our lapels and will wear a t-shirt (with a small Canadian flag) with the word ”Aye” emblazoned on it just so we’re treated better at the border. Quite frankly, I do want the French to like us. Many may not care what the French (or even the Italians) think of us, but, I do. I want to travel the Free World and feel as though (as an American) I’m welcomed with open arms. In fact, I’d like to see some more ”color” in the town where I live, as it’s sooooo white (with a touch of redneck) that you begin to feel like a racist just for living in a such a town. If I had a choice, I would have lived closer to the city but, got stuck where I am.
On what Obama will do (and can’t do). First, he can’t screw things up anymore then Bush has. We’re in so much debt that a little bit more ain’t gonna hurt us (and if NEW debt is due to putting OUR people to work), I’m all for it. What he can do is improve our lives with more jobs, help seniors, who make under 50K per year and fix our health care system. If he just does ONE out the THREE I just stated, we’re already hitting a home-run.
As for Joe the Plumber, what a joke. Thanks McCain for taking a plumber and making him a celebrity. Joe won the lottery and can now get a book deal. Also, I’m a bit tired of hearing McCain stating “he has the scars to prove it”. Yeah, and there’s plenty of bags with bodies of young men coming home each and every week from Iraq. Oh, and let’s not forget about those losing their limbs, sight and bowels on the streets of Iraq and coming back with MORE than just scars.
McCain is about as bad they come. He’s old, he’s tired and should have retired ten years ago. Palin is about as witty and perky, as the step-ford ladies selling jewelry on QVC. My prediction? She’ll end up on daytime television on “The View”.
You know what? I find myself getting more pissed as I write this blog so, I’m done. Let’s call it a day, everyone vote for Obama, send the Bushes packing back to Texas (never to hear their name again) and move on.
