In Obama We Trust
2008-07-24

I think I should say my bad right about now. A couple weeks ago I got sorta pissed off at Obama for flop flipping on junk that I thought was important. The stuff is still important to me but after seeing him all week on tv in a bunch of foreign places representing the millions of us that aren’t total assholes I’m thinking I owe him one. For like 7 years and a few more months most of the rest of the world has hated our guts. Something about a couple dickheads, one from Texas and the other from like Wyoming saying we’re all that and not really needing to hear from anybody else on earth. And if we do ever need to give a high five to anybody we’ll let them know. I guess we’ve become Eddie Haskell and just don’t get it how bad other countries want to see us get ours. It didn’t use to be this way. I know all about the Ugly American thing from the 60’s but there were still a few places that showed us some love, not like these days where every living thing out side of the USA that can either speak or flip us off with some limb attached to a body is letting go with how they really feel. You know for a fact if polar bears or salmon could pound out an e mail they’d be totally jamming up the two stooges inbox with a short “what the fuck are you doing” note. So getting back to Obama, I just re read what I put up about the dude and I’m feeling like I violated like about 7 of those commandment dealybobs. A couple showers couldn’t make me feel much better so I wanted to crank this out before I head home and try to crash for awhile. I’m thinking that anything other than giving this man the go ahead to clean up the mess we’re in is not a good thing. Another 4 or 8 years of republicans calling the shots and we better start learning Chinese or Venezu something. Anything but English cuz I’m pretty sure the world isn’t speaking Roman anymore either. I’m not saying we’re going to go out of business but it could be like it is for VHS tapes, dial up connections and Pamela Anderson. Tough times. So I’ve decided to do anything I have to. To step up and do my part. Believe me I know I’m just some little dweeb typing on a computer at the library, pretending that someone is actually reading this right now but we all gotta do something to help.
That mummy man McCain is trying to keep Bush alive by talking a bunch of smack about Obama being an empty suit. I think that means Obama isn’t really alive. That maybe he’s one of those holograms or a just an actor playing the part of the most important guy running for president since Kennedy. That would include both of the brothers who were shot by people who knew that was the only way to stop them. This time we all need to watch Obama’s back cuz the closer we get to the election, the more it’s looking like he could maybe get the chance to fix the freaking disaster we are in. Of course that means it's also going to get really, really dangerous for him. From what I can see he’s not afraid of much. I even read something where said he doesn’t do “cowering” (to save you the time of looking that word up it means he ain’t going to piss his pants any time soon) but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be a little scared. I’m no college graduate and haven’t read every history book about this country but I know people with power don’t give up power without a fight. So from here to November 5th Obama needs to be like family to you and me. You know how it is with that uncle, brother or sister who screw up but you do what you have to do to cover for them in front of other people. Yeah, when you get them back home you let em have it but it stays in the family. He may have flopped flipped a bit lately but he’s still family. I'm sorry about my temper tantrum and I’ll try to keep that in mind from now on. Later.

If you email Spike, he'll read it.
