chaya and i got to see barack obama speak in washington square park tonight. i had to go back to work, so now i am sitting here, thinking all about things. like for instance, what an amazing president barack obama would make. and, how strange it would be to feel proud of the person in the white house, instead of horrified and dismayed ( Read more... )

Yeah, I'm with you. Here's what I bet is going to happen though:
"I now pronounce you...THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, Mr. Rudolph Giuliani!!" Let's be real here. This is America.

Is there a guy who pronouces you the president? Like you're getting married? I hope so. Although, I think the best way to do it would be "The Price is Right" style.

"Barack Obama, you are the next President of the United States! COME ON DOWN!"

It's one guy--he's been doing it since 1974. He was elected into the position but there was no official pronouncement.

I like that first picture you sent me of Barack. That glowing light behind him makes it look like he just came out of a god beam or something. ha ha.

I'm still undecided, because I haven't really heard a speech from Barack or Hillary yet. I need to watch the debates, if they have them.

Obama is our best choice, I agree. I still have qualms with him though. Truth be told, its insanely likely that Hillary will edge him out in the primaries. I am NOT a Hillary Clinton fan and here's why: 1. she's a conservative-- she voted for the war; 2. her "marketing" is poison--easy target for conservatives; and 3. she's what I call a "pander bear"--talk about a REAL "flip-flopper." The only candidate on our side I really *like* is Kucinich, but his platform is too radical to make it. Obama is kind of inexperienced and could easily be torn to shreds by the media machine. He's just a black John Kerry in the eyes of most. He's not even really "black"... he's blacker than Condoleeza Rice, but not even half as black as me! I bet he watches the Lawrence Welk show and doesn't understand hip-hop. Don't get me wrong, I like him and he IS stronger than most. Its just sad that he's our BEST choice-- politics have come down to choosing between many really lackluster candidates. Does Barack Obama compare to JFK or FDR... I think not. My ( ... )
