So, like most other people, I’ve been hearing a lot lately about John McCain’s pick for VP, Sarah Palin.
About whether women, particularly those annoyed that Hillary is out of the running, and who have had recent lobotomies, will flock to her.
About whether she has the necessary experience to attend funerals abroad.
About whether the comparisons between McCain & Palin and Regis & Kelly are inevitable.
So, this post is not about that.
This post is about Obama and my lackluster response to him, despite the fact that my fellow democrats are throwing their virtual underwear at the computer screen at the very mention of his name.
“Yes, we can!” they chant. And have been chatting for the past year or so. It’s really annoying to me, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.
Until now.
YOU KNOW WHO ELSE CHANTS “Yes, we can!”
Do you?
If you are a mother with children under 7, boys, in particular, you certainly do.
That’s right, the beloved cartoon character, Bob the Builder. A builder, A problem solver. A working class man.
And what does Obama do? He steals from him. I am all for giving people the benefit of the doubt, but as far as I know, Bob is still building, still answering the phone in the middle of the night to go on repair emergencies. If Obama paid him for his catchphrase, surely he’d be kicking back a little, not chasing after every job.
Plagiarism. Theft. How Obama can think that we’re all so stupid that we’ll let him get away with this is simply beyond me. But I think it shows clearly what he thinks of women in general, moms in particular and the working class in general. Nice.
But perhaps this helps explain his appeal to the younger generation? “Yes, we can!” strikes such a familiar chord, brings such nostalgia to us young ‘uns, that is it a source of comfort, of Sunday cartoons and we flock to him.
And notice the media’s total failure to call him on it. Nice, liberal media.
But I am telling you, blog friends, so that you can be on alert.
So that when Biden comes out dressed in a giant purple suit, singing “I love you, you love me, we’re a happy family!” you will be hip to what’s going on.
We must hold our politicians accountable.
Although if McCain started channeling Captain Underpants, he’d totally get my vote. Wedgie Power!
