I said pretty much the same thing last night to the spouse about Bush. With totally screwing up this country and the world, at least the upside was that it paved the way for history to be made.
And forget about painting the White House black, didn't you know that because Obama is Egyptian, he's going to turn the White House into a pyramid?!!? (This is from one of the hilarious SNL spoofs).
hahaha no I had no idea he had Egyptian background, as well. I've only heard of the Kenyan bit.. oh and some great-grandfather who was Irish (there is a really funny O'Bama Youtube thing out there somewhere.) I wasn't even thinking much of the historic moment of him being black until I saw so many people commenting on it this morning, and that song popped into my head. I don't mean to marginalize him, as I think he's not made as much of an issue of his race as everyone else has. But when I remembered the song, I chuckled, and had to look it up online to hear it again.
Great Onion satire article, though the headline contains some foul language so you might not want to be surfing with the kids around. They've got a few funny election articles at the moment.
I don't think Obama has Egyptian in his background. At one of the McCain rallies, some lady was given the microphone, and she said that she was afraid of Obama because "he's an Arab". McCain had to take the microphone from her and defend Obama. Saturday Night Live, of course, did a spoof on this, and during this spoof was where the Egyptian and pyramid comments were made. Here's a link where you can see both the actual rally and the SNL spoof ... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/16/snls-crazy-mccain-rally-l_n_135463.html . I have found, this year, the SNL takes on the political stuff to be hilarious.
