I'm thinking about Obama tonight...
I'm not supporting Obama. Honestly, I can't think of one reason why I would vote for him. We view the world in radically different ways. Although, I feel the same way about McCain so maybe its just me.
However, it does seem that if the polls are true, Obama will be the next President of the United States.
That is unless he pulls some boneheaded move like preempting the potentially decisive game of the World Series with an infomercial about himself when the 2 teams are from Pennsylvania and Florida- 2 must wins states.
Wait- he is doing that tomorrow night? What in the world is he thinking?
The one question I would ask Obama if given the chance: "Why didn't you simply change your name?"
I remember reading about Harpo Marx. His name was Adolph Marx- but sharing a name-even with a different spelling- with Adolf Hitler was something he did not want to deal with. So he became Harpo.
Barack Hussein Obama could have easily became Barack Harry Obama before getting into politics. He would have had the perfect reason for changing it and the sensitivity surrounding it would be nonexistent.
This time next week, he may be the president-elect. He will give it his best shot, supply Leno, Letterman, and SNL with endless material, and he will fall short. He will disappoint his legions of fans and not follow though on all of these promises he is making. Not because he is a bad man, but because he is a man. A totally depraved man- just like me- and just like you.
While he may not have my support- he will have my prayers.
Either way, I am hoping for a decisive election night. I do not want to stomach a couple of months of court battles. How about you?
