So Obama’s recent trip to the Middle East did nothing for his ratings. Some people think that Obama would be a not-so-great leader during war-time, others think that Obama does not have enough experience in general. Is it possible that the alternate to George Bush may be more George Bush in an older package? How can this election be so close with only 100 days till the big vote? We, and I mean WE the educated and informed, know that anything is better than four more years of Bush. Unfortunately, WE is a smaller group than THEY.

So what can WE do to get Obama elected in a landslide (and after 2000, I prefer a landslide to a close call). Here is what I propose:

WE take the reverse approach. By that I mean, Obama, you say what you need to say to THEM to make THEM vote for you. We will know that you really mean the opposite. For example, if Obama says gay’s should not be allowed to marry, WE will know that he is for gay rights. If Obama says everyone should have a gun and be allowed to purchase fully-automatic weapons, WE will know that your are for gun control. If Obama says there should be troops in Iraq until the Middle East is peaceful, WE will know that you are ready to move them out and there will never be peace in the Middle East until strip clubs open over there. When Obama says there should be drilling in the La Brea Tar Pit because it’s black and liquid, WE will know that solar and wind power are on the way.

So we will tell THEM what they want to hear, but because WE are WE (and WE stay informed), WE will know what is really happening. I look forward to a comfortable November.
