Obamaphilia
This is funny. On Obama, LA Times columnist, Joel Stein says:
“You are embarrassing yourselves. With your ‘Yes We Can’ music video, your ‘Fired Up, Ready to Go’ song, your endless chatter about how he’s the first one to inspire you, to make you really feel something — it’s as if you’re tacking photos of Barack Obama to your locker, secretly slipping him little notes that read, “Do you like me? Check yes or no.” Some of you even cry at his speeches. If I were Obama, and you voted for me, I would so never call you again.
Obamaphilia has gotten creepy. I couldn’t figure out if the two canvassers who came to my door Sunday had taken Ecstasy or were just fantasizing about an Obama presidency, but I feared they were going to hug me. Scarlett Johansson called me twice, asking me to vote for him. She’d never even called me once about anything else. Not even to see ‘The Island.’
What the Cult of Obama doesn’t realize is that he’s a politician. Not a brave one taking risky positions like Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich, but a mainstream one. He has not been firing up the Senate with stirring Cross-of-Gold-type speeches to end the war. He’s a politician so soft and safe, Oprah likes him. There’s talk about his charisma and good looks, but I know a nerd when I see one. The dude is Urkel with a better tailor.” (bold added)
Even so, I can’t help wondering who is more dangerous? Is it McCain with his economic ignorance and promise of more wars or is it Obama with his blatant inexperience? Which is the lesser of two evils? All I know is that the lesser of two evils is still evil. So, for now, I still elect to waste my vote with a clear conscience.
