My Two Cents
This could be an historic year for the United States. The Democratic Party is serving up the choice between a woman or a man of color for President. I’m drawn to rooting for either of the two candidates in a very superficial bid for affirmation as a woman of color.
I’m superficial like that. I really don’t care about their detailed plans for reforming the country’s health care, welfare, blah blah blah. Politicians have a reputation for breaking campaign promises as soon as the heavy hand of Big Pharma, the war industry or any zillion dollar industry reaches out to put the pressure on. I don’t know what kind of shady deals go on behind the camera’s eyes. What I care about is how I feel when I look at my President.
George W made an absolute mess of US foreign relations, but damn it, whenever I see him on TV, I get a good laugh. The man can barely string words together to form a sentence. And that Alfred E. Neuman grin, “What? Me, worry?” is perfect, given the context of the time. Now, that’s entertainment!
I would love to see a woman sit at the Oval Office someday. However, Hillary Clinton is not the woman I’d like to see. Dude, she scares me. She’s trying too hard. It’s like she wants to prove that she’s man enough for the job, slinging mud left and right, and then breaks down in tears about how difficult it is to be a woman. She strikes me as a bit too desperate for the job. She’ll say anything, do anything to get elected. I don’t want to see that on TV. It’s embarrassing.
Now Barack Obama… that man’s got sex appeal! I want to gaze into his eyes for the next eight years, honey. Obama fills me with confidence in his integrity.
In his mail campaign, he wrote: “I am confident about my ability to lead this country. But I also know that I can’t do it without you. This campaign has to be about your hopes, and your dreams, and what you will do… That’s how change has always happened — not from the top-down, but from the bottom-up. And that’s exactly how you and I will change this country in the coming months and years.”
I like a man who listens. And I like being wooed from the bottom-up. Did I mention Obama is sexy? Oooh, yes, Barack! Fuck me, Barack! See? Doesn’t that sound hot, like I’m making mad passionate love with a Klingon? I’m coming, Barack!!! I’m commmminnnngggg….
Peace!
Hey May!
I am not a citizen of the U.S.A. and therefore won’t be voting. I am however sick of the U.S.A.’s Governments ignorant and isolationist foreign policies.They affect all of us that inhabit the rest of the world. The world is a far more dangerous place since George W. Bush continued with his fathers plans.
I’m with you on Barack! for different reasons(!). B. Clinton went back on his word a number of times on policy statements that got him elected(e.g. Gays in the military), Hilary has shown a similar disposition. Barack seems to have stuck to his decisions, as he believes in them, rather than doing what is politically expedient. Also something important to me his record on a womans freedom to choose is way better than H. Clinton. Sorry that this ain’t as entertaining as your blog, but I wanted to show support! J.B.
as far as i am concerned all politicians suck. they never fufill their promises. i would like you mai or shu qi to be president since i love to view you both. as far as an honest man maybe bob dylan.as far as making love mai you and shu qi are the most beautiful.
“I’m drawn to rooting for either of the two candidates in a very superficial bid for affirmation as a woman of color.” — Yeh, politics does suck. But especially when people simply support a candidate based solely on gender or race! Shame on you, May, for being “superficial like that.” Oh well.
Anyone that wants the power, should never be trusted with it. History is simply a timeline of mankind’s abuse of power. Could you imagine what it’s like to be running for president? Those deligates are all nuts just to be up there hopping up and down with their haircuts and expensive suits. What are they all up to? I don’t like ‘em, I don’t trust ‘em, and it all makes me mad!
I wouldn’t vote for any of them, but unfortunately we have to vote for at least one of them.
Clinton is a joke and should not be trusted. Obama has no credible history of being able to do anything and much like Clinton he just rambles the same old crap over and over – no substance. The Republicans are also pretty clueless. The only decent one running was Fred and he’s out of it now.
Our choices are few and for a country that is supposed to be for the people by the people I say you all vote for me!
Minty Fresh in ‘08…whaddya say?
Obama is fucking sexy and the man for the job! Holy shit! Look at that body and how old he?
Minty Fresh is right its supposed to for us by us. But nobody has to vote or at lest I wont. Schools, Cops, All rich people and the USA GOV is trying to make us live our lives the model way. Im very srry to push my anarcy you people i that somethings we are better doing on our own. So I wont vote and I never will or at least till feel like making aidin in the future of our kids that have to live after our mistakes. Our world wonts blow everyone up and to me that comes before Gay rights and the stupid race and or color of our leader and cheif. So again srry but War on our streets is what im scrad of not the ones in other places. Plus pllz i wont to think all of you who read this.
