Hal Vows to Back Obama
It is time to come out with it, like John Edwards, The United Steelworkers, and George McGovern, I’m tossing in my hat and backing Barack Obama. I’ve held off as long as I could because that’s what us influential backers do. I don’t know why they do, but I don’t want to be any different than any other major player in this political turmoil.
Now that I’ve come out and said it, I’m sure Clinton will go home and cry, have the press over and officially quit. If she calls, I will explain to her, firmly but with consolation, that I cannot stand behind her. She carries too much emotional baggage, having spent most of her life with Bill, and is simply not as good as Barack.
Obama will be overwhelmed to know that he has my support. Now that the news is official, I expect a thank you note from him, maybe an invitation to come over and play badminton or have a beer. He may call on me for advice after he is elected, a service I will assuredly perform as a citizen.
Oh, John McCain you say, what about him? Well, first he is a Republican and second, he is a Republican. And if that isn’t bad enough, he likes war, big-business, low-wages, and dare I say it, Dubya. I realize these two sentences are redundant.
Some people think that it doesn’t make any difference who is elected. To them I say, have a look at George Bush. He has made a hell of a difference. And not a bad difference, but horribly bad.
So there it is, citizen Hal is officially supporting Barack Obama. If he stays within the boundaries of his promises and pledges to the other citizens, I will probably vote for him as well.

Have you ever known any politician who really keeps his/her election promises?
May 2008Having said that, as an outsider with absolutely no real knowledge of the candidates, I would most likely support Obama as well. Bush has done no end of harm to world peace and there’s no reason to think that McCain wouldn’t continue in the same vein. Clinton comes over as being a bit weak and woolly and not the sort of person who should hold so much power.
