The cult of personality that is Obamamania appears to be on its way to Democratic victory. That train is gaining momentum faster than Rush Limbaugh can say "Barack Hussein Odumbo".
I can say, without divulging too much info about my political affiliation, that I am not complaining about that. I'll say that my candidate is still in the race too. Unfortunately, at this point, I don't see the gal making it to the finish line though. If she did, it would mean the superdelegates went against the popular vote, thereby f'ing with the democratic system and creating a new hanging chad scenario. Now that would make me mad. Oh, and my father called me a "flaming liberal" on the phone the other night. He meant it in the bad way too. But, Barack Obama is a fine, fine, candidate. To be honest, I'm smitten with the guy myself. It's just that that one candidate's platform most closely matched up with my own personal political views. And that's what we should be voting on, right? The issues? Plus, I'm still slightly, just slightly, concerned about Mr. Obama's experience. I didn't say age mind you; I said experience. I kind of think Senator Obama might make an even better President in 2012.
But people want to be inspired and Barack Obama is doing that. I love it. Record numbers of voters are participating in the electoral process. It's amazing to see, but freaking me out a little at the same time. There are Obama cakes, Obama clothing, Obama jewelry, Obama music videos, Obama Valentine's Day cards. The press is calling supporters "Obama-Maniacs". Detractors are calling them cultish and have compared him to Jim Jones and David Koresh. He received a 17,000 person ovation for blowing his nose at a speech in Dallas on Tuesday. Those last two are ri-diculous, I know, but then you read something like this, attributed to actress Halle Berry: "I'll do whatever he says to do...I'll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear." That's weird Halle.
Nevertheless, the first half of the race is coming to a close and, in the words of Sen. Hillary Clinton, “It's time that we move from good words to good works, from sound bites to sound solutions.” Word to your mother Hil.
And in case you saw Barack Obama and Halle Berry in the same sentence and instantly wondered what their love child would look like as I did...It ain't that pretty at all. Here you go:
