Please look at this little video I created. It helps explain what Mr. Bush may do now that he will be stepping down (thank God for that). Go Obama go... you may have a pit bull biting at your ankles, but remember... nobody trusts a pitbull!
The video is humorous and I hope you all like it. I am working on another contrasting the puppetry of Cheney & Bush vs. Palin & McCain. I'll post once ready.
All the best in the race my friends. Keep up the struggle!
Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nhb5GZpszbc
PLEASE NOTE: SOMEBODY WHO RESPONDED TO THIS POST HAS LABELED IT A RACIST RANT BY AN OBAMA SUPPORTER AND BY THE CAMPAIGN. I TRIED TO RESPOND DIRECTLY TO THE PERSON WHO POSTED THE "RACIST" RESPONSE AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS PERSON HAS NO PROFILE. DOING SO IS PRETTY CLASSIC TROLL M.O. UPDATED 7/30/08, 9:55 MDT.
I hope this doesn't somehow come off as sounding racist or odd, but I've been wondering about it since Rev. Wright did his mock up of mostly Caucasion marching bands vs. mostly African American marching bands. Personally, I thought it was hilarious (as did my 80 year old father) and it is true: people with a better sense of rhythm tend to move to and clap on the backbeat as opposed to the "flat four pattern" or the double pre-or frontbeat. When someone asked Senator Obama what he thought of Bill Clinton being the first black president, he said he'd have to check with the brothers and watch him dance. Again, I thought that was hilarious and soooooo true. One of my white male coworkers (who's a liberal but likes to play devil's advocate) complained that Senator Obama's comments were racist. A black male coworker and I laughed and told him a) to lighten up and 2) to remember J.D. and Turk's "Scrubs" rule about white men dancing in public--"Turk: Dude, what's the rule about white boys dancing in public? J.D.: Not allowed unless you're gay". Anyhoo, we also reminded him of the movie "White Men Can't Jump", but that's a whole other topic for a whole other day...
UPDATE: Buckeyes for Change, one of the largest prObama groups in Ohio, and which was featured in a previous blog post, got some serious exposure on Cleveland local news the other night. The news clip, found here, covered the Unite for Change event the Buckeyes held in a park downtown, and the choreographed dance they performed there. In the clip, producer James Reid talks about plans to distribute a video of the dance on the internet, to raise money and support for our campaign for change. You can catch a brief glimpse at the dance by checking out the clip (which also features a quick shot of our very own Ohio for Obama blog and website!).
Congratulations to Lisa, Zakiyyah, and all the Buckeyes for Change, for their newfound fame!
But Lisa and friends weren't the only Obama fans who got some mention in the news. Volunteers from Lima held a 4th of July event in Faurot Park (one of hundreds across the state), and the story got picked up by WLIO. They registered voters, recruited more volunteers, and dished out some Obama gear.
Looks like some good deeds do go noticed!
Well, here I am, smack-dab in the worst year of my life... Over $50,000 in debt, an ex-drug addict, and exactly $1.53 in my bank account. Today, one of only two remaining credit lines I have was closed due to a king-hell f*ckaround at the bank involving all kinds of fun things like the fact the VISA transactions take priority over electronic funds transfers, even if that transfer is for $220.00 and its the only thing standing between you and another credit card being closed. But hey, there are some things money can't buy, like me throwing my phone through the wall when I found out about this. For everything else, there's VISA. And Big Money. And crap like the bullsh*t Bush has laid on us for the past seven years while we laid around in a post 9-11 coma... Listen I was ON A PLANE THAT MORNING... to BOSTON. My ex-girlfriend (who broke up with me when I got addicted to drugs after the attacks) was literally STAMPEDED by a mob in downtown Manhattan when the towers fell. I know depression, and I know 9-11. I live in Queens. And no one knows better than me that I was gung-ho to support ol' Bush right after the attacks. But something happened. I came to my senses, and watched as the good-will of the planet collapsed into a mess of orange jumpsuits and Abu Gihrab torture manuals, slimy and dripping with oil. Something is wrong here.
So yeah, another Morning in America: Wake up, no money, another credit card closed, gas at $4.85 a gallon for hi-test, but it doesn't matter because in 15 days the car insurance will be cancelled, borrowing $20 from my girlfriend to eat, recovering from a shattering addiction, and wondering- how the fu*k can I do something to ensure this freaking Republican Party never gets another president elected? That's when, just out of instinct, I stumbled upon barackobama.com. And then I realized something else — not only to these fiends have a kick-ass web site that shoud have McCain shaking in his boots, they allow ALL OF US TO TAKE PART... and do what we want. Hmmmm so here I am: Another lone, ex-coked-out-American who wants Change, and wants it badly. Not just for myself but for my Country...
Listen up, Barack: You talk a lot, and we like your talk, and you better deliver. I am sick of being sold down the river. I saw our current President flush an entire planet's good will and intentions down the toilet and I will be dammed if I believe in another round of bullsh*t about "change-this" and "you-are-the customer-" that. YOU BETTER DELIVER. I read today that you said the Democratic National Comittee would no longer accept money from federal lobbyists or political action committees. Well, holy sh*t!! Isn't that about time! I LOVE YOU man, Because that is exactly what 99% of us want. Because... well, 99% of us get screwed when the DNC DOES accept those donations... but if you back down on that, BO, you are a chickensh*t and you will lose all the momentum you are buliding, just like Bush did. So be strong, man. I believe in you, you beautiful son of a.... and this is a man who hasn't EVER believed in ANY president since...well... EVER. I never knew what it felt like to believe until today. Cherish those words as proof that its working BO, and its working WELL.
Heck, I haven't even seen you speak. I never even read your campaign platform. It doesn't matter. I believe in the idea of you and if that doesn't get your fire burning, I don't know what will. This washed-up, broke, ex-drug-addict is writing a full page of single-spaced words and joining your team based on the idea of BARACK OBAMA. Now that is some power you have there, BO, Downright JFK-like and you better use it wisely... Our country needs you!
So yeah, you got me BO, for now... just don't do any of that good-ol' flip-floppin' that FOX News loves to report on. You seem like a good guy. And God knows we need a African-American President already. Hillary as VP? I dunno, man that's your call. You know how Billy rocked that oval office. But I think a female VP and a Commander-in-chief with a little bit of soul will do this country some good. And screw anyone who says that's a racist comment because its not. I am white, I can't boogie, and I sure as heck can't pay my bills on time— but I can write like no other.
I encourage everyone with an affinity for passionate debate, motorcycles, football, overdue credit card bills, web design, and the Money-Grubbing Elite that are strangling our country, to post something in this Blog.
You have found your home. Now go to it, my sons and daughters...
Yrs,

This thing is sooo funny! You can send it out to friends if you like. I'm just sharing it because I ran across it.
