Obama on Lost?

Ok, not really. But, I had so much fun matching Barack Obama and Joe Biden to two characters of 24, that I couldn’t help but think of the possibilities of this on other shows. And, it struck me like Mr. Eko with his, as Charlie so wonderful coined, “huge Jesus stick”. LOST! Who from Lost looks like Barack Obama and Joe Biden? I came up with my answer. Look below:

It’s a match! Michael and Christian Sheperd are perfect for Obama and Biden look alikes! Obviously, I had to find a picture with Barack Obama with a beard, and I didn’t think it could be done, but thank the stars I found one! (And yes, I said “thank the stars”)

I had considered getting Mr. Eko or Matthew Abaddon for the role of Barack Obama, but Michael seemed the best fit out of all of them. Christian Sheperd was a shoe in for Joe Biden. They could be brothers if not twins.

So, there you have it ladies and gentlemen. I have wasted your time once again. But, you enjoyed it. I just know it.

Obama Popularity A Mixed Bag

A phenomneon like Obama-mania hasn’t happened since JKF, and now with the capability of the internet and technology, it spreads even faster. However, for all the people that are extremely ecstatic about Barack Obama, there are just as many people who aren’t. The polls since even before Obama got the nomination have shown that many voters are wary of Obama. In fact, there are a lot of people out there that can’t stand the guy, nor would trust him to be the President.

With this being a clear and present danger to the Obama campaign, the Democrats and Obama are scrambling to turn that around. I think they are all shocked at how close the polls are, especially with so many factors that should be used in their favor. Everyone is making excuses, especially as if McCain is just getting lucky. But, I have a good theory to why things are not a sure thing for the Democrats and Obama.

Listen very carefully: THE NATION IS DIVIDED.

Never since the Civil War has the nation been so divided on polarizing issues. Abortion, Homosexual Marriage, Universal Healthcare, and Foreign Policy are just a few of the hardcore issues that both Democrats and Republicans are not willing to be swayed on. This makes it difficult for anyone to come to a bipartisan common ground, which means that one side is going to get their way eventually. That power struggle is what we are seeing right now in the polls. It is what we saw with how close the elections were with Bush and Gore and Bush and Kerry. Somehow, I think the Democrats are underestimating the resolve that hardcore Republicans have toward these issues. They aren’t just going to say “mercy” and let go. This means that this election is going to be just as close as it was in 2000 and 2004.

With that said, do not be surprised if either of the candidates barely squeak by in this election. Until one side gains an overwhelming majority (which won’t happen), this nation will be divided for a long time and political struggle like this will be a constant.

Biden Must Hate Himself

Joe Biden said that Barack Obama is too inexperienced to be the President. He also said that he doesn’t want to be Vice President. He doesn’t want to be asked.

Well, he was asked. Now he’s Obama’s Vice President. If I was Biden and actually meant what I said I would really hate myself right now. I mean, seriously, basically being forced into a position that he probably doesn’t want to be in….ouch. Imagine, four years of working with someone you know shouldn’t be doing what he is doing. You know you could do it better. You have the experience. The know-how. The means to get things done. Aw. But you can’t, so sad.

Biden, you just walked into hell. Hope you enjoy.

24 De Jevu

The Obama/Biden 2008 campaign has been announced and I couldn’t help but have a really weird de jevu of season 6 of 24. Thats right…

Don’t they oddly look similar? This could mean three things:

1. Barack Obama watches ALOT of 24.

2. The producers of 24 have rigged all of this up as a subliminal publicity stunt to get more people to watch their show (just like the Montauk Monster).

3. Somehow, through the space/time continuum, the characters from 24 actually exist and have reincarnated into people of our dimension.

Whatever it may be, I think it’s pretty undeniable that Obama/Biden are following in the footsteps of a revolutionary television show. Which means that 24 is relevant in the realm of both politics and society. 24 is a mirror of our society, a lens into what our world actually is, and this is the next step into realizing all of that. The only logical thing to do now would be to watch 24, since it obviously helps your brain. Like, Kix. Obama tested, Biden approved.
