[A-List] Barack Obama Made Up Your Bed

["Charles Brown" <charlesb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After the sad end of the 2004 presidential elections, I thought to
myself: in 2008, there won't be the same stampede on the (broadly
defined) Left toward the Democratic Party. George W. Bush, by then a
lame duck, can't be the sublime object of fear and loathing that
unites a great multitude of left-of-center Americans. The likely
Democratic nominee, Hillary Rodham Clinton, reminds many -- especially
men -- of the teacher they hated in elementary school.

CB: Or their White grandmother who they could never disown, and who
loves them but says racist things around them.

^^^^^

Wrong!

The Democratic Party has come up with a man who inspires not just
"hope" but fantasy, of the sort affectionately satirized by a popular
Web site "Barack Obama Is Your New Bicycle," which, with each click,
displays a new Obama fantasy, like this:

    Barack Obama Made Up Your Bed

For all our long-standing tradition of fighting imperialism, leftists
have yet to figure out how to fight an imperialist who is easy on the
eye.

^^^^^
CB: Just think of him as your Kenyan-American Prince, second only to
your Iranian Prince. All princes are imperialists ; might as well be
good lookin'  ( See Machiavelli ; smile)
