Nobamadoom!

Rube that I am in a youtubed world, I think the Right's crazy uncles will scare the bejeebus out of everyone but fellow crazy uncles, especially as Obama's edge increases in proportion to their craziness. Obama will drive the Right's insane insane.

I've seen nothing from Obama's campaign that suggests they aren't prepared for what the Right will spew and not agile enough to parry and then counter-attack and drive them crazier. I've seen nothing from the Right that suggests they won't happily go as crazy as they really really want, and boy do they want.

I say minus youtubes of Michelle Obama screeching to the amening that all white male infants be de-balled during circumcision and Obama in dyshiki personally handing briefcases of $20s to Osama bin Laden, Obama stomps.

I bet you an India Pale Ale of your choosing Obama kicks McCain's lame ass come November.

And that's before taking into account 10% unemployment, $5.50 gallon gas, families living in refrigerator boxes after their homes are foreclosed, that whole Iraq clusterfuck thingee, and every and all Bushco shitpiles that'll be squeezed out like rancid poodle-grapes between now and November as Bushco insiders and sycophants try to get ahead of their legal peril by dumping their turds during the noise of the election.

Takers?

Yesterday a colleague at BoB, in a comment to a post of his declaring his Obamadoom, offered up the elite-meme against Obama to another colleagues defense of Obama:

So my next post and those ever after (until the Labor Day Gallup poll is released) will be roses and rainbows, singing the praises of the Exalted One. The One in who’s name everything that’s wrong with the world will be right…

wOOf!to my wOOt!

Mofos, beyond rooting for the uniform, which is everything, beyond acceptance that Obama is a brilliant product with brilliant (so far) marketing, beyond proof yet that Obama's any less hollow than any other product on the market, here's what I expect out of an Obama presidency:

Anything better than slightly less shitty than a McCain presidency is gravy.

Just slightly less shitty than McCain ain't much, but it's still better than just as shitty.
