Obama-gazims

Everywhere I look in the last two days, all I can see is the “news” that Barack Obama may run for President in the next election. On the Chris Mathews show yesterday morning, Mathews was absolutely giddy that Obama might run in ’08 – a half hour before the Illinois Senator announced his intentions on the Russert’s Meet the Press love-fest thrown in Obama’s honor. I thought Katty Kay was going to have to take a cold shower mid-program to get back her British demeanor after talking about the young Senator for five minutes.

Even local news programs are Obama-gazmic over the news. Local female news readers in DC have had to fan themselves on-air to cool off at the mention of Obama’s name. I guess we can expect two years of this unprofessional behavior leading up to the ’08 elections.

And who is really surprised at Obama’s decision? Since his speech at the DNC convention in ’04, that’s all the media can talk about on Sundays when asked to speculate on Democrat candidates in ’08; Mathews in particular. Right after Hillary, Barak Obama’s name is second on the list.

For the life of me, I can’t figure it out. What has Barack Obama done since he’s been in the Senate? What did he do before he was in the Senate? From the reaction of females, I guess he’s good looking. So that’s reason enough for Democrats? That’s the same reason they put that last idiot in office – panting and screaming and promising him oral sex if he’d only keep abortion legal.

Given the performance of the last four Democrats in the Oval Office, I think they’d better come up with something more substantial.
