Dinner with Barack
Not dinner with the President. Not dinner with Obama. Nope. Just Barack. Your buddy, up against a brick wall like so many promising young bands and hopeful comedians. Barack. You and Barack. Dinner. That will be special.
I have no doubt that the skillful and shrewd tacticians of the Obama campaign are totally in touch with their audience (See that Google+ icon? A sure sign that they are on the cutting edge. Not that anyone really uses it - but it's the cutting edge.) and they will most likely outwit the Romney camp this November, but I wish they could reign in the coolness just a touch. We're talking about the leader of the most powerful country on earth - not Justin Bieber. Reality TV has overtaken us and the lines between entertainment and politics don't exist anymore. The President's cool; that's a given. We get it. So as long as we're getting so familiar with him, why don't we just call him Barry like his old friends in college did? Step up the cool factor one more notch. Go all the way.
What will you and Barack talk about at dinner? My guess is he will feign interest in whatever you want to talk about and probably laugh at your lame jokes. He will also be familiar with your favorite music. He's cool like that.
But be aware that once you enter this contest to dine with Barry, the email account you register with will be bombarded from now to election day. They like to be in touch.

The Hall of D'bags!! That site forever developed a visceral reaction whenever someone pulls out a camera anywhere near a brick wall. (And I'm so thankful for that.)

Well, I'm already being bombarded by his nagging election staff, so I don't think it matters much if I get some more.

I signed a few petitions, and I get two or three e-mails a day, including the ones offering free air fare to some event if I donate three dollars. I imagine its a contest drawing of some sort. I don't really care to go to dinner with him, unless he wants to come down to have dinner with me and my family. I'd get my cousin to boil some shrimp, and my father to grill some steaks. Our treat, It would only cost him air fare and a hotel, unless.he wanted to crash in the spare room.
