Don't Worry...I didn't miss the bandwagon

So I think it's time for me to revolutionize blogging, by presenting my original, unbiased, and inspired thoughts to the world. I'd like to think that this blog will not only open some eyes to the observations that I've been able to make, but also help people realize things that they may not have been able to figure out on their own. I hope if nothing else, the brief glimpse into my thoughts will add perspective to the lives of my many avid readers, and help them become better aware, if not better people in general.

I you tubed some of the democratic presidential debates the other day. I have to say, Obama does something for me that Hillary doesn't. For starters, she seems too concerned about policies to take the time to care about the people. I believe it was our founding fathers who wrote "We the people" as the first three words in the Constitution of the United States of America. I don't think the likes of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, or Mel Gibson's character in "The Patriot" would want the future president's concerns to lie in politics above people. That's why we seperated from England in the first place!

In direct contradiction to Hillary, Barack talked about no less than 14 individual people in the 8 minute 49 second you tube clip. I mean he mentioned John, the steel worker in Pittsburgh, Edna, the retiree in Tampa, Jamaal, the kid on the streets of L.A., and Sarah, the Professor of Cliche's at Harvard University. Now I don't personally know these people, but I can still relate to them. I have a father who works, a grandmother who's old, a black friend, and a teacher. The fact that Barama (Am I the first person to come up with that?) cares about these specific people makes me feel like he cares about me as well. Now that's Change I Can Believe In.

The Republican race is over to me, but it doesn't really matter. I haven't seen one T-shirt or catchy slogan about McCain or whoever else is running for them, so I don't see them making any waves in November. Furthermore, I saw a pole online the other day showing that nearly 3 to 1 people in America will vote democrat. Here's the link: http://ursinus.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2209240506 . Of those people, apparently close to 1,000,000 strong are for Barama Mama: http://ursinus.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2231653698 . I also found an additional 1,000,000 people who are against Bush: http://ursinus.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5022036305 . and there are 1,000,000 people who want Kenyan to streak at Super Bowl 42: http://ursinus.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2241104485 . This tells me that at least 2,000,000 people will be for Obama Mama no Drama if he is our democratic representative. While that wouldn't win him American Idol, I can't imagine it will keep him from being our next president.

Side Note: I don't actually expect a presidential election to tally as many votes as American Idol. The numbers show (sorry no link) that Americans are much more interested in reality programs than reality itself. Furthermore, the American Idol contestants are chosen from all around the country, through rigorous training and auditions where our presidential candidates are basically the two to four most popular people (old, white people if your republican) in the party (can we please come up with a more suitable name. party makes it sound fun.) Besides, the winner of American Idol is in line for much more money than the winner of the Election.

As a sign off, I encourage those of you who are touched by todays message to get out there, buy a Obama Mama no Drama Rhode Island Dairy Fahmah T-Shirt and join a facebook group...and if you really feel like you need to do more, the primary is soon, and I think there's a number that you can text your vote to.

Stay Political, as long as you don't have to go out of your way to do it!
