Why I Endorse Barack Obama for President
Super Tuesday is Here
I know it will come as a shock to many of the readers here, but I endorse Barack Obama for President in the coming election. Many of the long time readers of Political Humor by Radioactive Liberty will be scratching their heads. Some may even wonder what dirty hippy has taken possession of my once rational and heartless soul.
I hope none of the regulars here will bail on me as I explain why I support a Barack Obama Presidency. If you bear with me, I believe you will also come around to the Barack side.
Barck Obama for Change
Barack Obama supports change. Now, I’m not a big fan of too much coinage in my pocket, but I’ve never been one to sneer at getting my change back. I’m not the sort of person to say, “keep the change,” except in circumstances where a tip is customary. Change is good, even if dollar bills are better.
Barack Obama is less of a Washington insider than the other top runners, aside from Mitt Romney. But who wants to vote for a Mormon? Most of the Presidents in recent history would have previous experience as governors. And if that doesn’t persuade you, I have two words to say. Jimmy Carter.
Barack Obama has a funny sounding name. As a Political Humor writer, this is probably the most important characteristic in voting for a candidate. Again, Mitt Romney is a pretty funny sounding name. He’s definitely a good second choice, but I see him riding the bench most of the season.
Dance Party USA
Barack Obama makes me think of making funny songs based on his name.
Barack Obama mao-mao. Obama mama mao. Tequila!
See? It’s impossible to not have a great time whenever that song is playing. If you don’t believe me, just watch Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, and notice the great time everyone had while Pee Wee danced to the song.
In fact, I suggest Paul Reubens as the running mate for Barack Obama. If we could find it in our hearts to embrace Bill Clinton’ extracurricular cummings and goings, surely we can let slide a little self-abuse in a men’s room. The primary role of Vice President Pee Wee will be to do funny dances to funny parody songs based on Barack Obama’s name.
Laughter is the best medicine.
No American will feel down about skyrocketing tax rates, or watching their jobs go overseas as their companies move to parts of the world with lower taxes. They will just turn on the TV and see the newest press conference with VP Pee Wee dancing the Bird.
But hopefully not doing any other bird related activities.
Then America will smile, and realize that America may no longer be the greatest country on Earth, but we are certainly the funniest.
That is why I support Barack Obama for President.

You forgot another great reason: if anyone says they are voting against Obama you can call them a racist! Race card ftw!

So, no one can say that they are voting for that “boy” Obama? Just checking.

Won’t the people from Alabama get confused when people say O’Bama? (Wait, he might be Irish and we’ve had it all wrong all this time. No wonder the Kennedy family is endorsing him. )

Sure it’s that kind of change. It better be. My whole endorsement hinges on it being that kind of change.
