Voting for...

Barack Obama is akin to Burt Reynold's 'stache, fitting at a glance, but yet still undesirable in that out-of-work porn actor sort of way. Now I speak of the glorious Reynoldsian moustache, not the Senator.

Yet the Senator is everything a young professional could hope for:

1) Articulate - only occasionally drifting into that slurred speaking style while amidst black voters

2) Mixed race - hey let's be honest, Jesse Jackson had more experience than Sen. Obama when he ran, yet why no embrace? Mondale in '84 instead? Come on Dems! But the man cuts a lovely 21st century America sight, does he not?

3) Background - no inner city streets, no heavy drug use (not counting admitted experimentation, but who hasn't inhaled?), Ivy League education

So to sum it all up, we can identify with the guy. In addition, if elected POTUS, the man will allay every ounce of "white guilt" and finally lay to rest the notion that the black man is being held down. It's a win-win!

President of the United States of America.

I wonder what one's resume should look like?

Attaboy, Clark!

Numbers, numbers, numbers.

Paul Simon sang about "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover."

Nena mused about "99 Luft Balloons."

Eddie Cochran inspired the next generation of rockers with "20 Flight Rock."

Retired general Wesley Clark recently played set-up man for Obama's speech on patriotism in the numbers game that is politics.

Clark was like the ad man in "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" (surely you remember…he tells Jagger that he can't be a man because he doesn't smoke the brand of cigarettes he's peddling to the masses) as he attempted to use his military veteran status to lend credibility to his critique of Senator John McCain--just as he used it to defend Sen. John Kerry back in 2004.

Can you say, "Please, Obama, pick me for a post in your administration?"

In Clark's estimation, Obama's ability to bring people together (just like Coca-Cola) and his "character," "communication skills," and "good judgment" (traits listed in GS-9 Performance Plans govwide) trump the "untested" and "untried" Senator McCain who has served in Congress for more than two decades (taking a stand on issues in lieu of Obama's heroic "present" votes in the Illinois state legislature), served in the military during wartime, and who commanded the largest squadron in the U.S. Navy.

CLARK ASSIST TO OBAMA . . .


OBAMA SHOOTS. . . HE SCORES WITH RELATIVISM,
A LIBERAL CROWD FAVORITE!

In Independence, Missouri, Obama avowed he would neither question others' patriotism during his campaign, nor would he "stand idly by when I hear others question mine."

Did anyone on "Face the Nation" question Obama's patriotism? No, they questioned his experience, or lack thereof.

Nevertheless, one has to admit that Obama's speech was a crafty preemptive move affording him room to strike back at anyone who dares question his patriotism in the future. He has taken it off the table.

In other news, Bill Clinton has stated he will not question the fidelity of anyone else and Howard Dean has stated that he will not question anyone's enthusiasm.
