Damn You Obama For Being So Cool!

The ad openly admits what we already know: that Obama is a superstar.

And no matter whatever other racial difficulties America may have, it's got no problem with its superstars of color. Tiger or Denzel or Will Smith or Michael Jordan, for which the phrase "I want to have his baby" was created. Like a teenage girl Camp McCain has basically scotch taped a Tiger Beat Poster of Obama to the wall of America's bedroom so that we may now all sit, stare and coo "Isn't he dreamy?"

But this lameness is not limited to McCain. To this day -- though certainly seasoned with some racism -- the only strategy that seemingly anyone can come up with to wield against Obama involves admitting he's better than them. You know; he's that lucky black man who actually appeals to the populace. He's that elitist who got himself off food stamps and into Harvard. He's the arrogant guy who would hang out at country clubs...if he wasn't so busy playing pick-up games of basketball.

He's like a wealthy heiress, and I know 'cause I got me one!

While some take offense at the ad, not me baby. Oh happy day when the enemies of ascendancy have got to confess that people of color rock.

The only thing that's going to make me happier is when Camp McCain runs the Bea Arthur/Jack Klugman ad announcing that uncool is the new cool.

1. Somehow this all has to

come back and bite mccain in his ugly lyin' ass.

I know it's depressing now but Obama needs us to be strong..not folding like a cheap suit.

3. No drama, ladies.

The GOP is trying to sow seeds of doubt.

Among the weaker Dems, it is working.

They'll wake up from their fainting spell sooner or later, and by that time Obama will have tied McCain back up in knots again.

And they'll maybe start believing in the man's campaign instead of second-guessing it. Hope so, anyway.
