WAITING FOR...BARACK

If it weren't so ludicrous it might be funny seeing how the national news media is waiting for the great Messiah, Sen. Barack Obama, to name his running mate. I swear Wolf Blitzers and Katie Courics of the world are ready to pee in their collective drawers in anticipation on an impending announcement.

This whole charade/media frenzy really reminds me of Samuel Beckett's existentialist play, "Waiting For Godot," in which the characters wait for someone named Godot, who never arrives. The characters in the play claim Godot to be an acquaintance, but in fact hardly know him, admitting they wouldn’t recognize him if they saw him. To occupy themselves they eat, sleep, talk, argue, sing, play games, exercise, swap hats, and contemplate suicide—anything “to hold the terrible silence at bay.” You might say this is art imitating life.

That concept leads me to the whole Barack Obama personality cult. Personally, with what is going on in the world I want a LEADER to be president, NOT a rock star -- which is how Barack Obama is being marketed, and believe me, he is being marketed HARD. Talking to some of my friends who are liberal Democrats, I swear they would not have a problem voting for a Stalin/Bin Ladin/Hitler/Pol Pot politician with the simple reason that they would have the label of being a "Democrat." We need to electing the leader for the biggest country in the world, not some crooning American Idol.

What and who is Barack Obama? For the past year all I see it to be is someone's whose mantra, so well depicted by the JibJab satire video doing the rounds on YouTube and Myspace, "Like the change we must change to the change we hold dear, and I really like change, am I clear." Nice words for a rock star, but not good for someone who must deal with Islamic terrorists bent on destroying the U.S. and our way of life and dealing with the paranoid schizophrenic megalomaniac Russians who are bent on taking over the world.

I'm no "lover" of George Bush, but at least he doesn't go around trying to be a flipflopping Messiah of change for change's sake.
