Man, I really dig Obama. It feels good to be able to say that about a President. Obama actually feels like a President. Or maybe a high school principal. He has that “you kids stay out of trouble now” vibe. George W. was more like that coach who teaches Driver’s Ed and then ends up being principal by accident. (That really happened at my high school, by the way.) Bill Clinton was like that uncle who drops in to visit you at school as an excuse to hit on all the cheerleaders. And the teachers. And the cleaning lady. Come to think of it, Bill actually feels more like a President now than he did when he was in office.
And whatever happened to Cheney? Believe me, I don’t want him to come back or anything. I just want to know where he’s at so he can’t sneak up from behind and bit me on the neck. My guess is that after the last election, his blackened spirit was denied corporeal form and went flying back to Mordor. Where the shadows lie. After lie after lie after lie.
Also, have you noticed how Biden is practically invisible? Of course, if you were Obama, you might want to keep it that way. Every time Biden opens his mouth I cringe. Hell, I saw him on a morning show talking about Avatar and it made me uncomfortable. How for the love of God can you seem that dimwitted about such a dimwitted movie? He couldn’t even remember the name of it. He was saying, “That, uh, that thing at the movies where they come at you through the screen, uh . . . .” Finally, the interviewer said, “Avatar! It’s called Avatar, Mr. Vice-President! For the love of Fuck how do you not know the name of the movie you just saw? It’s on the cover of every freakin’ magazine in the country! The trailer is on ever five minutes! Avatar! Avatar Avatar Avatar!’ Then secret service men rushed the guy off camera and Biden just went on talking about “those big flying things that grab you with their grabbin’ things.” Painful to watch. Truly painful.
But I dig Obama enough that Biden can’t even ruin it for me. I don’t even expect that much from him. Bush set the bar so low that all Obama has to do is not destroy the world.
This President has been lizard approved.
You’re very lucky to have someone who even tries to step over the bar. Our guys set the bar as low as Bush and then the next one just limbos under it like some kind of boneless creature.
Our general elections are just around the corner and the Conservative party are just positively rabid with excitement at the prospect of savaging our asbergers PM (poor guy had to be taught to smile – imagine that). I saw one of the pre-election speeches this morning – lots of talk of ‘coming together’ etc, but the soundbyte I wanted to offer you was from Cameron, the Conservative Candidate:
It was all gibberish, but one line stuck out – “We want the streets to be policed by our policemen” What does that mean – has there been some kind of militia or substitute force in place that we weren’t aware of? Now that’s just plain creepy.
Biden sounds like fun, though, send him over here – I think he’d fit right in.
