1) Because it apparently doesn’t require previous experience.
2) I kick ass and take names.
3) Because I have two new BFFs named BARACK and JOE and they can’t stop emailing me to tell me how MUCH THEY NEED ME!
Check it:
Denise —
I have some important news that I want to make official.
I’ve chosen Joe Biden to be my running mate.
Joe and I will appear for the first time as running mates this afternoon in Springfield, Illinois — the same place this campaign began more than 19 months ago.
I’m excited about hitting the campaign trail with Joe, but the two of us can’t do this alone. We need your help to keep building this movement for change.
Please let Joe know that you’re glad he’s part of our team. Share your personal welcome note and we’ll make sure he gets it:

Thanks for your support,
Barack
P.S. — Make sure to turn on your TV at 2:00 p.m. Central Time to join us or watch online at http://www.BarackObama.com.
And one from #2, as well. (and I don’t mean POO.)
Denise —
I’d like to thank you for the warm welcome I’ve received as the newest member of this campaign.
What you and Barack have accomplished over the past 19 months is incredible, and it’s an honor to be part of it. I’m looking forward to rolling up my sleeves and getting involved.
I recorded a short video message about how I hope to help in the weeks ahead.
Please take a minute to watch the video and share it with your friends:
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be doing a lot of the things you’ve done to grow this movement — reaching out day after day in neighborhoods all across the country, connecting with people who are hungry for the change we need.
This is no ordinary time, and this is no ordinary election. I plan to do everything I can to help Barack take back the White House.
I don’t need to tell you that John McCain will just bring us another four years of the same. You can’t change America when you supported George Bush’s policies 95% of the time.
Barack has the vision and the courage to bring real change to Washington. But even he can’t do this alone.
Join me by getting involved in your community — and reach out to your friends and family to get them involved as well.
Please watch this video and pass it on:

Thank you,
Joe
Do you see how we are on a FIRST NAME BASIS?
And how they keep saying they NEED MY HELP?
I’m telling you, my appointment is practically official… and you know what THAT will mean….
Only 14 people between me and the White House.
Let the pandering begin.
1. Love the new layout – very cool.
2. I am soooo hurt that I am not the only one Barack and Joe are emailing. Wait, don’t tell me…. do you sometimes get emails from Michelle Obama too?
3. If you become Homeland Security Head Honcho, can I get a free pass on going through security on airplanes? I PROMISE I don’t have a bomb in my shoes. Wait, did I say bomb? Shit.

You guys too??? I suppose, I can’t do it alone, just like Barack and Joe cannot do it alone.
Umm, if you do become THE MAN, can I get an official looking badge or something? You know, so I can get into museums and tourist attractions at a discount, maybe even 10% off at Caribou or something.
Love,
Gab

OMG! I can’t stop laughing – I like the suit and tie!

Love the suit, but you seem to have “turkey neck” below your real face and his neck!

Honey, I think you would make a terrific Secretary of Homeland Security! Look at all the high-up friends you have already! You are right, it should be a shoe-in—-because they NEED YOU TO MAKE THE WORLD RIGHT, HUH! Love you, Mom
Comment by Mom — August 26, 2008 @ 11:06 am
oh my GOD, Clinton, you are right.
It does, however, make me more politicky looking.
CHECK OUT THE ADAM’S APPLE ON DEEPLES!
also, how cute is it that my mom thinks I should be in charge?
VERY.
