Why I’m Voting For Obama Well, let’s just start by saying that I’ve never really been a political sort of person before because I thought my vote didn’t matter. But then that guy from the Black Eyed Peas told me it would. You know, the one who isn’t Fergie. And is a guy. Anyway. He told me it did count but only if I voted for Bar…I can’t say His name just yet, I’ll get too emotional.
I’m young but I know that He appeals to all ages because that old lady from the 80’s loves him too. I think her name is Magina. She’s divorcing some British guy and she bought an African school and took a kid from it once. I heard she was really hot when Reagan was president and people my age gave a crap about MTV. But she loves…Him.
I have to say His name or everything inside of me might explode.
Obama.
OMG, I did it! Just like His website, I will only refer to him by his last name.
Obama.
Just like all those chanting Germans said it. There isn’t anything that thousands of chanting Germans could be wrong about, is there? Europeans are SO da bomb!
I support Obama because only He will bring change. This election is all about change. We need change in Washington. I don’t want George Bush to win again. If Obama doesn’t win, it will be four more years of George Bush. I said this to someone who brought up something about “term limits”. I just stuck my hand in his face and said, “That’s old politics! I’m for change and a new way.” Yeah, I went there.
I support Obama because I can call Sarah Palin a c**t and hate her dumb Alaska way of having kids and a job but still tell people I’m a feminist. Besides, the New York Times said she probably killed Abraham Lincoln, so, I mean, you know, that’s bad.
I support Obama because He is going to take money from other people and give it to me. I think that’s called racism. I’m not sure. Something is called racism, because they say it a lot.
I support Obama because He picked that guy from the wax museum with fake hair to be His running mate. It’s important to have people from olden times around to explain things like the Beatles and hockey to the president. Wax Museum Guy even saw President Roosevelt on TV so he must be really smart about things I can’t understand.
I support Obama because he smiles a lot and, well, it’s good to smile. Especially if our enemies are talking to us. We should always smile then. And listen. A hug would be nice. Whoa, here comes an enemy and he has a really, really, thick vest on. He might be hard to hug.
I support Obama because I can get free health care during an abortion, a sinus infection or a herpes flare-up. If any other man offered me that I would marry him. But I wouldn’t tell him about the herpes. Or the abortion. I just want free stuff, actually.
I support Obama because He supports alternative fuels. That means growing so much corn to make ethanol that poor people starve to death and no one needs to drive or fly to see them. That saves gas. Seriously, how obvious is that, people? Get with the program! Oh, windmills are important too.
I support Obama because He and that blond guy on MSNBC have such a beautiful love affair. America is totally ready for an openly gay president.
Mostly, I support Obama because He’s, well, gosh, just look at Him. And listen to Him. He keeps saying all those words. Then He turns them into sentences with all kinds of punctuation and stuff. Like the one time He said…um, something I don’t remember right now but He said it in such an awesome way that my friends and I are still talking about the total awesomeness of it.
Obama makes me feel happy inside. Like McDonald’s fries. But when He is president He will make sure I get those fries for free.
That’s why I support Obama.

I’m not worried. I don’t think Buffi will be able to locate the polling booth.
Oh, you are so right about Obama, but you forgot the other guy; the man he is running against. He’s a career politician who is just as worthless, but in different areas and in different ways. But you probably don’t see that, do you? Republican blinders. Understandable.
I’m not sure what your point is, Shawn, but as of today, we have two choices for POTUS (Yes, I know there are third parties running, but none of them are well known enough to even swing this election in one direction or the other).
It’ll either be Obama, or “the other guy,” as you put it. I don’t really like the politics of either one, but to me, the difference between the two candidates is that one hates America as it is now, and one loves America and all we stand for. That, plus the fact that McCain was smart enough to choose Sarah Palin for his runningmate makes my choice easy.
One hates America? Come on. They both signed off on the FISA additions. Seems to me both don’t like protecting basic civil rights, you know, that privacy stuff we have enjoyed. I know, I know…if you aren’t doing anything wrong…
We have more than 2 choices. We also have the choice to vote “no”. That’s what I’m doing this time around.
Good luck at the polls. I think we can both agree that it is one thing that makes America great: we have a right to vote, or not.
Sorry, had to add something. Palin!? What’s wrong with Kay Bailey Hutchison? You cannot tell me that Palin is more qualified than Hutchison.
Biden: bad bad pick!
Palin: WTF!?
Well, Shawne, I think a lot of people can relate to the “no!” sentiment.
As for Kay Baily Hutchison, I didn’t know she was on the list of possible Veep candidates, and really didn’t know much about her until you mentioed her and I googled her name. Based on what I can see in her bio, she’d have been a good option, too – I do like what appears to be her strong stance on immigration. I’d have to read more about her legislative decisions to make a more informed comment, of course, but unfortunately, she’s not one of our choices this time around, either.
Shawne-let me give you a little help with something I like to call THE OBVIOUS.
I didn’t forget the other guy, I’m voting for him. That’s why I’m making fun of Obama voters. It’s called making a choice.
Palin-2012!
Stephen, that was simply awesome! I want to see your show.
