I’m Having a Barack Attack

I don’t know what’s going on with me of late. I like Hillary. She’s smart, articulate and a woman. She is infinitely qualified to be president. I’ve heard of her wonderful work ethic. She’s really liked in New York. So, what’s going on?

Along comes this brown-skinned young man who is able to stir those watching him into feeling excited, hopeful, enthusiastic. Who is this man? Is he just a figment of my imagination? I’m not American, yet I watch every news item about him. I haven’t been this obsessed with an American election since Kennedy.

Hillary and McCain keep attacking his lack of experience. Give me a break. Have you looked at the brain-dead moron that’s been in the White House these last eight years? What experience did he have? Apparently, drinkin’ and snortin’ qualified him.

Well, maybe that’s not a good example.

I don’t know about you but I’m real sick of the warrior-type candidate. I don’t want to hear another word about the prisoner of war camp or anything remotely connected to the war in Viet Nam or anywhere else. I’m tired of the muscle-flexing-bully American image. I’d like to see a statesman in the White House. I think - I hope - Barack is that statesman.

What am I doing writing? I have to cut this short. I have to get back to my television to watch Barack re-runs on CNN.
