An Ode to Obama: Give Up Fish (for Me)

By jjacquet on January 15, 2009.

A Guilt Trip for Obama
I sent a million emails
Cheering you on in every line.
I watched Will.I.Am's video
About a thousand times.

I stood strong against my parents
(Both McCain supporters).
I recruited my brother:
A first time and Obama voter.

I made inspirational cds,
Sending them to friends in every state.
I bought an Obama-sized cutout
And motored him 'cross the U.S.A.--
He was kicked out in Florida,
Photo-opped in Tennessee,
And adored by all in L.A.

Knowing you were a champ,
I customized a YES WE CAN stamp.

I posted on YouTube,
I read your news every day,
I wrote many rants,
I hoped and I prayed.

I listened to podcasts,
I read both your books.
I bragged about your smarts,
Your morality, your looks.

Alongside my countrymen
I watched you win in November--
Another time of such thrill
I can hardly remember.

I will stand in the crowd
When you are sworn Head of State.
I will be prouder than ever
On that splendid Tuesday.

Now.

With all that I've done
And all that I feel,
I was thinking we might
Strike up a deal.

You have a power
That transcends the Pope and Al Gore
You say "pound puppy"
And rescue memberships soar.

So, for me, dear Obama
I have just one, tiny wish:
Would you please, please, please
Swear off eating fish?

Liveblogging The Debate

Just the salient points. McCain does not want to spread the wealth around. Obama wants to cut the 15 billion dollar subsidy to insurance companies. Obama wants to invest in higher education.

Blogospheric responses to the Biden pick

A wide range of opinions:

Matt Stoller Wants His Dog Whistle Too

Apparently, Matt Stoller, like the Mad Biologist, wants to hear a dog whistle from Obama too (italics mine):

The results are in. Obama clearly won the debate.

A lot of people think the debate was pretty even. Obama supporters liked Obama, McCain supporters liked McCain, I assume (that is utterly obvious). But what matters is the effect on uncommitted voters.
