Obamarama

I'm already getting real sick and tired of Barack Obama. The females around school (even the ones who like females) are absolutely swooning over him, and the media is similarly goo-goo-eyed. And why? Because he made one feel-good speech one time about bipartisanship and unity. Oh, and he wrote a couple of books. Who cares what his voting record is? Who cares that he's been a senator for less than two years? We want him to be president, dangit, because he's handsome, he's nice, and having a black president will feel good and help me convince myself that I'm not a racist.

I expressed all this to Michelle recently, who asked me if I would be having this reaction if he were a Republican. I'd have to say most likely not. It's true I would be happier if he were a Republican, but I wouldn't try to pretend that I'd vote for him for any other reason than... I agree with his stance on most of the issues!

Anyway, local radio host Jay Severin posited yesterday that Hillary is only allowing all this fawning to continue unanswered so that she can absorb it when she selects Obama as her running mate. I wouldn't be surprised.
