Barack Obama is now referred to as President-Elect Barack Obama. Soon to be just President Obama. His sudden rise to The White House has not been the story I think most people would aspire to follow. Well, maybe they would, just not me. I’ll ignore his confusing youth of hanging out with terrorists and all the stuff that’s been beat to death in the papers and dwell instead today on what’s not been in the papers much.
In 2004, the Illinois US Senate seat was open. A whole bunch of peeps jumped on it. Twenty-two I think it was. A few distanced themselves at the top very quickly. Most notably on the Democrat side was Blair Hull. That’s when Obama caught his first break by getting the ringing endorsement from this lady:
That’s his main opponent’s soon to be ex-wife. She made Obama’s candidate look like a trailor trash reject. Accusing of an uncontrollable anger and made her fear for the safety of herself and their child. By the time she got done with Blair Hull, he was toast. Obama then cruised to the nomination. In the general, Obama was getting toasted by the Republican, Jack Ryan. Right when Ryan was set to crush Obama, Obama caught another break given by this woman:
Jeri Ryan, the soon to be ex-wife of Jack. She claimed Jack tried to get her to do it with other peeps in a pervy bar in Paris. Imagine that. Jack decided to not run. The opps waited for Mike Ditka to run, but he, I am sure, feared the effect this would have on his marriage, and declined. That left basically Alan Keyes, who was getting kind of strange at this point. And, more importantly, didn’t live in Illinois. It was a cakewalk for Obama.
Once he decided to run for President, the tide turned ugly for the opposition party as they were dealing with, of all things, this:
That, believe it or not, started a snowball effect that sort of fouled the press on the Republicans. So, the Republicans countered with John McCain, who, oddly enough, had been through a rather ugly looking divorce a few years back. The Dems made sure to mention that fact occasionally.
So, it just appears that Obama was either really lucky. Or, even more fearful, brings out something in women that makes them want to destroy their husbands if they appear to get in Obama’s way.
I won’t be getting in his way any time soon.
