Looming Obama Backlash? [Part 2]

You know, sometimes I feel like the media secretly reads my blog. Or maybe my opinions are not the most original in the universe. Either one.

Anyway, this article from The Australian is very reminiscent of what I posted a while ago about a possible Obama backlash.

I voted for him in the end, so I sincerely hope this doesn't happen. Although at the time when I was staunchly for Hillary, I did see this coming. I even predicted that it would happen when the tide moves towards Obama and he becomes the front runner, which is what this article says, and which is happening right now (he just won the last four states).

But I made my choices based on his interviews, not his speeches. I seriously think that he should chill with the vague euphoric wording and start cracking down on the details. At least he should do it when the election comes around and if he wins.

The one thing that scares me the most is my vision of watching him in a debate with McCain and him crumbling under McCain's attacks. It's just too possible for comfort.

But I have faith in him. You know, if Obama's "cult-like" charisma is what it takes to bring the country together and move it forward, then so be it.

Good article. Read it here:

"Obama's First Coming"

p.s.- Oh, and Obama? Try to stop the "yes we can" chants, please. It's gotten ultra cheesy and it makes me cringe.

Michelle Obama with Stevie Wonder, He FALLS! Hahaha.

I know I am very mean to find this funny but, well, I do:

Primary Poll Results- Screw the Media!!

The results of the First Ever Sponge-tastic Poll:

Question: What is wrong with the presidential campaign process today?

Answer options:

-The presidential hopefuls are so fake. Who the hell are they, really? 1 vote - 11%

-Iowa is this important? IOWA? 0 votes - o%

-Crazies like Huckabee can lead whole states. 2 votes - 22%

-Women and black people?! OH NOES! 1 vote - 11%

-The media. Period. 5 votes - 55%


So there you go- the people have spoken. Specifically, a whopping 9 people. And what did they say? That the media sucks balls. Followed closely by the fact that batshit insane people with names that come dangerously close to "Huckleberry" can win whole states. The fakeness of candidates and the bigotry of the world are disturbing on the same, somewhat minor level. Interesting. Oh, and apparently people don't resent Iowa. Yay for cornfields!

I'm already sick of the 2008 election...

I really am. All of this bickering and general annoying-ness is making me tune everything out. I think Bill needs to back the hell off because he's annoying me a lot, and Obama and Hillary need to stop with the pointless, petty jabs at each other. I don't know if it's the media blowing every tiny word up or the candidates or their volunteers or who... but can it please stop? I mean they're making the Republicans look all relaxed and peaceful. The Republicans!

My dad came up with a really good idea today. Hillary and Obama should have a one-on-one televised conversation/debate: no television personality asking questions and making it all formal and boring and bringing out the good ol' talking points. No: I'm talking a face-to-face conversation which will leave them with no choice but to be genuine, because they can't get away with throwing empty talking points at each other! Maybe I should send this idea to the networks. Haha, as if they would listen. But still. I think it would be great.

So either that, or I get fully numbed and jaded by the pointless back-and-forth going on over issues I could not care less about such as whether Bill calling Obama's position on Iraq a "fairy tale" is racist (wtf?!) or who can bring "change" (that word has now lost nearly all of its meaning to me. Jesus Christ...).

So, to summarize:

-Bill Clinton, GTFO. This is your wife running for president, not you, and frankly you're ruining her campaign. I don't see Michelle Obama attacking Hillary.

-I want a televised, casual conversation between Hillary and Obama. About the real issues. No frills, no BS. Only then can we see who is truly the best candidate.

Some more points I must make:

- Edwards, GTFO now. You and your hair piss me off. Oh, and remember when you referred to Hillary as the "status quo?" Well I'm sorry dear but if anyone is the status quo in this election it is YOU. White, male, sweet Southern accent... yeah. So don't be talking.

-Huckabee: you need to GTFO too. But first shut your mouth. And after you get out, take a good hard look at yourself. And really think. Use your brain. I know this is hard, but just try to look past the bible belt. What do you see? Is it really in America's best interest that we ALL bring more Jeebus into the Constitution? Would we ALL want the confederate flag endorsed? Do we ALL think, "Oh damn, if Chuck Norris supports him then what the hell is there to doubt?!"

-Mitt Romney, you creep me out. There is something in your eyes that scares the crap out of me and I do not want you to be president. That is all.
