Another Question About Obama Supporters

Filed Under current affairs, humor, lil things, politics, questions

Over at Making Chutney, Chance asks the question: why are so many UU bloggers for Obama? I have another question about Obama supporters, prompted by my (now third) viewing of the will.i.am video, “Yes, We Can.”

Why are they all so damned good-looking? I mean, have you seen the video? Hill Harper almost killed me, esp. with his adorably clueless Obama t-shirt - dude, do you realize that it looks like you’re wearing your OWN face on your chest?

And then they had to throw in Enrique Murciano from Without A Trace, all sulky with his Cuban eyes looking into mine as he emphatically whispers: “Si podemos.” Yes, we can, Enrique!!! And I want to!

Well, unlike Chance, I never have answers to my own questions. However, my devious imagination envisions some poorly lit and far-flung corner of our nation where every day, airplanes drop off confused loads of sartorially-challenged, lumpy headed people clasping tightly to their Obama ‘08 buttons.

Clearly I lack a gene that allows me to appreciate the Yes, We Can video appropriately. And I do consider this a flaw, because everyone seems to love it. I did vote for Obama (absentee), but that video makes me ill with the chanting celebrities.

We haven’t had a democrat who was so stylish in quite awhile. I can appreciate style, but at the same time, it confuses me that so many Obama supporters make so many sweeping statements about how Hillary wants thing X and Obama feels thing Y.

That disturbs my legalistic little soul who just wants facts.

I don’t get the celebrity thing, either.

The video doesn’t do anything for me either. The Super Bowl ad was cool though. I wonder what he’ll be doing with the texts he gets from that.

Chutney, he’ll be collecting cellphone numbers and his campaign will be calling those people pronto. Clever campaign strategy!

Yeah, he’s been texting me three or four times a day now. I’m being stalked by Barack Obama.

Ugly people for Obama unite!
