Barack Obama has one of those names that just doesn’t roll off my tongue. No amount of practice will make that happen, it seems. In an effort to try to make his name one of those “one the tip of my tongue” names, I even tried using the tune from Louie Louie, a classic rock ‘n’ roll song, written in ’55 by Chuck Berry, singing, “Obama, Obama,” but what happened next, most likely predictable, especially in this day and age, things changed.
As I sang the self-created lyrics in an effort to get Obama’s name a familiar roll on my tongue, the words, “Obama, Obama … yeah, Obama, Obama” became, eerily enough, “Obama, Obama … Osama, Obama.” <add Family Feud buzzer tone now>
Looking at the Super Tuesday results, it looks like I don’t need to worry about having Barack Obama’s name become familiar trilling roll off my tongue after all. It looks like he’s going down the drain with the Ty-D-Bowl man went down millions of toilets from the 1960s through the 1990s. Is Ty-D-Bowl still around even?
If things change in the Super Tuesday counts and Barack Obama, the senator from Illinois, takes more states — past Illinois and Georgia — I will have to reconsider the thinking processes of the American voter.
On the flip side, though, although I do not support Barack Obama’s candidacy, and Oprah Winfrey’s wild antics in Iowa actually put the proverbial nails in that coffin, I am surprised Barack Obama did so poorly Super Tuesday. He had Maria Shriver (are those her real lips, or too much collagen?) whining (I think that’s what she was doing) on stage last weekend at UCLA when she “declared” her support for Obama. He had Oprah on his side. But, the thing I think really killed his chances on Super Tuesday is that he really hasn’t done much except show things are still the same. Different name — well, very different, almost confusing name, at that — different skin tone, but the song-and-dance are the same.
It cracked me up watching Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton attack each other in front of John Edwards a few weeks ago. Barack Obama attacked Hillary Clinton, saying she had represented that big, bad Wal-Mart corporation. Yep, big, bad Wal-Mart. It’s giving people in America jobs, better than minimum wage pay for most jobs, health insurance, and a chance to do something to change their lives — and no, I am not a cheerleader of Wal-Mart.
What did Hillary Clinton do? She came back at Barack Obama, putting her claws in his eyes and gouging out his corneas while reminding him that he was the attorney-of-record for a scum lord, oops, slum lord in Chicago. Yep, she was talking about that very same — the one and only — Barack Obama who says he is so concerned for the low-income, the middle-class, and those without health insurance. Of course he is. Maybe he simply wants to help his scum lord/slum lord buddies get more tenants for dilapidated buildings in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and other places.
Barack, it’s time to bail out of the presidential race. The voters spoke on Super Tuesday, the very day you were counting on to deliver you ever-so-many delegates, yet you have fallen onto your face. The best thing to do is make sure you have your parachute on, check the straps, stand up, hook up, and jump right out. Right out of the race. Your campaign has a giant “L” all over it right about now. L for Loser.
In a way, though, I’m sorry to see all the potential Democratic candidates whittled down to one: Hillary Clinton. That’s scary. I was really hoping someone would be the one to make it past the Clinton facade. Hillary doesn’t have a handle on things, and if Bill is going to be the captain of the ship if she is elected, God help us. If Hillary is the one running the show, God save us!
Just to throw this into the mix: What the hell is an “Indian American“?
