You’re Not Special and Barack Obama Doesn’t Owe YOU Anything

I am not a special interest group. Neither are the millions of other Americans that gave Barack Obama their hard earned money to run that freight train of a campaign right through John McCain’s House of Whacks. I have to say I was surprised to hear McCain and Palin, every one of their surrogates, the Fox News robots, and others (especially, sanctimonious Joe Scarborough who seems to honestly believe that Floridians are stupid) whine about public/private financing and the unfairly enormous ad campaign of Barack Obama and how he broke his word to the American people and to John McCain. First of all, who gives a damn … not me. The tired nonsense about Obama “lying” to the American people and John McCain and the outrageous “typical Chicago politician” line are still being mumbled in the background … it’s just a matter of time before Sarah Palin pulls it out of her bedside table and tries to drive it home again. She’s already resurrected Tito the Builder and Joe the Plumber.

((sidenote: if anyone from her “camp” is reading this … GET HER SOME NEW LINES AND TELL HER NOT TO DO THAT GROWLY, LOW, TEETH-CLENCHED THING WITH HER VOICE WHEN SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT SHE’S TALKING ABOUT … WE ALL KNOW THAT TELL … so with that in mind ~ don’t get her a guest spot on any of those celebrity poker shows either … although … I would love to see her in a remake of “Rounders” … she would be a natural as “Worm” … she lies all the time; she already has a relationship with Matt Damon … but, the truth is, I just want to see her get her ass beat by the Russians (because I guess they can see her from over there, too) and be left broken and alone in a church gymnasium … still scheming. This could really be a break-out role for her … plus getting her to Hollywood early will make it easier for Oliver Stone to get busy on his next project.))

OK ~ back to what I was saying before …

Now, I hear the pundits talking about who is expecting favors from the new President Elect. “Who” got him elected and what “they” will be expecting in return … what??? … you’ve got to be joking, right???

(1) Hispanics ~ voted for Obama in record numbers over Amnesty Man, John McCain …
(2) African Americans ~ voted for Obama in record numbers over Whitey (seriously man ... get some bronzer), John McCain
(3) Hillary Supporters ~ voted for Obama because Hillary told them to … except for the duchess or princess or whoever
(4) Pennsylvanians (taking time out from clinging to guns & religion) ~ voted blue, as usual, for Obama, even though John McCain pimped Sarah Palin out to them for two whole months
(5) Jews and other old people ~ gave the nod to Obama instead of their fellow AARP member
(6) Gays and Lesbians ~ voted overwhelmingly for Obama even though he opposes gay marriage … (that topic is discussed enough … I’ll just leave that there)

Educated white people, Duke fans, Teachers, Nurses, Middle class, middle income families, Catholics, Grandmothers … this list could go on and on …

Here’s my point ~ None of us are “special interest”. Contributing to a campaign and casting your vote is not like buying a hooker … there is no twenty dollar special. We don't lobby our vote to whatever “category” exit polls force us into and we don't reject our democratic principles in exchange for presidential favors ... we are Americans. We choose for ourselves when that curtain closes. So, I don’t care who you are or what group you belong to or don’t belong to … You’re Not Special and Barack Obama Doesn’t Owe YOU Anything.
