Why I’m Going To Vote For Obama

I was reading through my blog entries earlier today (ooh I love reading my own material!) and I realized that everything has been really serious lately. So I decided that my entry for today would explain why I am voting for Barack Obama (there is a thick layer of sarcasm all over this whole mess). So here goes nothing.

Our country needs a change of direction. We’re doing all kinds of horrible things. I mean, just look at the War in Iraq. People are getting blown up and it’s like, because of us. I mean, if we hadn’t gone in there in the first place, people would be a lot happier and nobody would get blown up by, like, IEDs and stuff. So I like it a lot when Obama says we should bring the troops home.

aww...

 

I like it when he talks about the environment too. Because I mean we’re in this absolute crisis that isn’t going to go away unless we do something. And gas prices? What is the Republican guy gonna do to lower the gas prices? Drill for more oil? Doesn’t he see that we are running out of oil? There is nowhere to drill man! And have you noticed that gas prices have been going up since the Republicans announced they would have a candidate to run against Barack? Seriously, just give it up already. Everybody knows Barack is going to win.

And why shouldn’t he? I mean, the dude is black (NOT a Muslim…not that there’s anything wrong with that). I mean, if he were a Muslim, how would that whole thing with his pastor gone down? Everybody started FREAKING OUT just because Obama’s religious mentor of 20 years turned out to be an absolute off-the-wall nutjob. The thing is though, everybody knows that JOHN MCCAIN is really the religious wacko. I mean, he’s a Republican! How could he NOT be an evangelical head-case?

Now, I’m white but that doesn’t mean I can’t respect Obama. I mean, white people have oppressed black people for centuries. Don’t you think it’s time that we let a black man be President? I mean, come on.

And yeah, that’s pretty much about it.
