Your Boy on Obama



A writer for the NY Times was looking for people's opinions on BHO and naturally mine was their favorite. I don't know if it'll end up in print, but here goes:

I'm thoroughly unimpressed with Obama as a candidate.
I know that I should be inspired, united and moved by
him, but I'm missing out on what others find so
appealing, kind of the same way I feel about "The
Office" (American or English versions.)

Apart from having a cool name, wanting to double the
capital gains tax, mimicking The Rock's pattern of
speech, being related to Dick Cheney and Brad Pitt and
endlessly talking about 'change', he's got nothing. If
a Senator named Chadwick Bentley whose ancestors came
over on the Mayflower and had the same
'qualifications' ran the same campaign he wouldn't
have made it past Iowa. He's as electable as Mondale,
so naturally the Democrats will make him their man and
we'll get 4 more years.

I'm pretty certain Barack is a droid designed by Apple.

I'm with you except you'd expect an android to bowl better than a 37. You can't try to bowl a 37 and bowl a 37.
