So the Presidential inauguration is today. I got one thing to say.
Whoopdee-freakin-doo.
The hoopla surrounding the whole thing is just, well, making me ill. I mean good God you would think Lennon, Hendrix and JFK have all arisen and melded into one flesh.
After the Obamessiah claimed the throne I could not help doing a Vulcan mindlink into what I think was the mindset of far too many Obamacons. Did you see any of those panels where they asked the people what he had accomplished?
Uhhhhhh….. I think was the most common response.
Here is the result of my mindlink-
I voted for Obama because he is inspiring those who have never been inspired by a politician; he is the anti-politician.
I voted for Obama because he will move people to be greater than what they currently are, he will rally the young and old, left and right, black and white to come together and reach for greatness.
I voted for Obama because he is a proponent of change and hope –something our world desperately needs.
I voted for Obama because His ability to lift the spirits of those who are oppressed is evident in his soaring speeches not seen since Dr. King; this will truly heal the damaged reputation of the U.S. abroad.
I voted for Obama because he will provoke change and transformation in our nation, our communities, and ultimately, in ourselves.
He bridges the racial divide of inequality and resentment that plague us- he will repair the years of brokenness that have gone before us. In him the ivory tower of Ivy League schooling and inner city desperation kiss in an intimate resolution of tension, strife and the chasm of want.
He inspired Will.i.am to write a great song and video, showing he has the ability to transcend artistic barriers of indifference and greed, uniting those would otherwise be prone to capitalist quarreling.
I voted for Obama because He is in his forties just like Bill Clinton was. And just like JFK was.
I’m voting for Obama because He is willing to speak with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – and other misunderstood leaders of developing nations letting them know that, yes, we can.
I voted for Obama because he was not subjected to 5 years of Vietnamese imprisonment and torture, thereby proving his youthful vitality and ability to stay out of harrowing and unnecessary wars.
I voted for Obama because He will bring home the troops and finally leave Iraq to flourish in peace and prosperity.
I voted for Obama because He is so cool he is bound to have an effect on global warming.
I voted for Obama because I love the sound of beautiful words that sing like Clay Aiken on a warm summer day.
I voted for Obama because He makes me feel good about myself.
And what I feel defines what is real.
When I voted for Obama, I voted for me.
That being said, I do think it’s a great moment in history that someone who is half black has been elected president in a country that did not truly see blacks as equals until 1964. That’s pretty wild.
I just wish it were someone like Thomas Sowell.
But can we just move past the whole race thing now please? And FINALLY embrace MLK’s dream that we would not be judged by the color of our skin but by the content of our character?
