Barack Obama

Yesterday, I received a letter from Barack Obama. I suspect most of you have by now. Somehow, I have gotten on both the Republican and Democratic mailing lists. It is humorous reading what each is saying about the other. Both say the other is destroying our country. You really need to see both sides to keep it in perspective.
I thought he would be telling me that he is running for President and requesting money. That's what fund raising is all about. Well, he was requesting money, but not for himself. He was asking me to send money to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. He said the Demos surprised the Republicans in 2006, but it wouldn't be that easy in 2008. Those rascal Republicans "won't be caught off guard again."
My thought is, if the Demos want to keep control of the Senate, they better start being nice to Joe Lieberman.
Well, I wasn't interested in contributing my money to anybody. So, you ask, "Why did you read the literature, if you had already made up your mind that you weren't going to contribute?" I read it because I was hoping that somewhere buried in the text was information on how I could meet the Obama Girl. I could care less if Obama and Hillary want to fight over whether we should sit down with foreign tyrants. I just want to meet the Obama Girl! Let's keep politics simple.
