Obama’s In Abington Tomorrow

So, Barack Obama will be in Abington tomorrow. And me, being the working man that I am, cannot be there… even though it’s only a few minutes down the road. Is it reasonable to leave work for such an important non-life-threatening reason? But then, how important is it? I mean…. I’ve already made up my mind that I’m voting for him. It’s not like seeing him speak and possibly being in the lined up crowd to shake his hand will do anything but make me like him more. On the other hand, this may be the only chance in my lifetime to see in person the first guy to really give me hope for this country; perhaps get the opportunity to take 5 seconds of his time to tell him that as he passes through. All that aside, he’s going to be remembered forever. As long as there is a country known as The United States of America, he will be known as one of those stand-out people, regardless of whether he wins or not (and goddammit, he’d better!!!).

Hmmph.

Anyhow, I can’t wait for these debates tonight. When I think about it, I imagine midway through the thing when Sarah Palin’s trying to non-answer a question again and the moderator just not allowing it anymore, pressuring her into answering it, and watching her just break down in tears running off the stage. Ohhh, I know it could probably never happen, but I can still hope. Did you see her Facebook page, by the way? VERY funny.
