| Obama's Flop Flipping |
| 2008-07-10 |
| I’m hearing on all the talking head cable tv shows Obama’s been changing his mind a lot these days. Most of the speed talkers on the tube say it’s not a good thing so I’ve been thinking about it all day. Is it really a bad thing to say one thing and then do something else? I guess it depends if the first thing you said was kinda crazy. Like when Bush said that dead guy Saddam was going to launch a nuke at my apartment building any day things might have turned out better if he had sat down and figured out that maybe there was a better way to protect us than to invade that particular country. I don’t think anyone would have thought he was a pussy if he had changed his mind about dropping all that shock n awe on them. What if he had just waited until the dude wet his pants and gave in after we had him totally surrounded. It couldn’t have taken more than 5 years. Besides saving us a couple trillion a lot more people would be getting around now with their own arms and legs. Or if Cheney would say my bad about this global warming shit. Maybe if he said honest people can realize they screwed up and then actually do the right thing at least polar bears would be a lot more happy these days. Now I know the stuff Obama’s been changing his mind on ain’t no little shit. Like his vote to let the freaking telephone companies walk on getting their ass sued for pissing on the constitution. Who cares if W asked them to do it with a pretty please. Even Hillary couldn’t hold her nose and sell out. Or his thumbs up on frying people for junk other than like murder. Or saying it was a good idea to hand over our money to church groups trying to save people. I don’t have a problem with these guys serving up breakfast or dinner to all the people who had their houses stolen but having to sign up to be an altar boy or usher to get the free meal sounds like some place other than America. Or him now being against gun control. What’s better, me getting shot dead or having a right to have a glock strapped to my dead body? I’d rather be alive with a number 2 pencil on me. Or maybe not ending the war as soon as possible like he promised for about a year and a half. Now he says it could stretch on for a while. Like I knew our spooks would be hanging out there way after I’m dead and buried along side my cat Rachel but why do we need to keep all the rest of our soldiers there? Isn’t there a real war going on in another country in that sandy part of the world? Afgana something? Now that’s a real nasty place and getting worse by the day. How cool would it be if Bush came on the tv and said he was sorry about that Iraq fuck up and now he was going to send everything we had to kick the ass of the guys who actually did kill a bunch of us here in this country. It’s time he told those Talibana’s that they can’t mess with Texas or the rest of us. Now is this going to happen? Probably not cuz politicians don’t like to say I screwed up. I think they would rather give up a testicle than admit they were wrong. I never did see Obama on tv this week saying “hey, I made a bad call and now I’m making the decision I should have made in the first place” when he wussed out on all these things. Like all the others he just sort of pretended he meant to do this all along. That it was our mistake if we thought he had said something else when he was thinking about running for president. Why did I think he was different than all the others when he’s just sort of a non fat, sugar free version? Basically the same but with a small twist, skin color. That’s still enough reason for me to vote for him. I may be a stale white guy but I know for a fact that we don’t need another stale white guy to be the head cheese of this country right now. For 232 years we've had our shot and mostly struck out. Let the new guy in class have a turn even if he might be the one who narc’s on you to the teacher for chewing gum. He deserve a chance. Yeah even if he does change his mind a lot. I mean it sure would be nicer if he was changing his mind and making a better choice than the fist thing he said to us but no, so far all the changes are totally lame. The stuff you would see if you checked out a manual from the library on how to run for office. I could save Obama millions by not having him run those stupid commercials saying he’s not any different than you or me. You see that’s the problem, we don’t want him to be like us. We know what we’d do and that’s sell out quicker than a fastball from Randy Johnson. Like a 10 years ago version of Randy Johnson. We want to vote for someone better than us. Someone who if they change their mind, they do it for the right reasons not cuz it’s the smart thing to do. Smart is not always right. Google that Karl Rove dude and nothing more needs to be said. So I really hope that very soon my guy Obama stops changing his mind and starts keeping his word. Now that would be a guy anybody other than cross burning freaks would vote for. Later. |
