"Obama Fatigue"?

There is a new development in the election front. People are getting tired of hearing about Obama. Is that possible? I mean, you finally have a BLACK man doing all the stuff only the old white folks and their prim and proper wives did. So yeah, I guess people got overexcited and talked him to death. I don't think he is being taken seriously as a candidate. He's become like a toy and people are using him like the token black guy they started allowing in movies and sitcoms. O look Obama made a fist bump. Hey Obama is off to Hawaii. I don't blame McCain for slyly comparing him to Hilton and Speares (or was it Lohan????.....who cares!!). The man has been relegated to the kind of celebrity reserved for finding pictures of Katie Holmes' new hair cut (which is really cute by the way).

I am a die hard Obama fan, but I have to admit, its been ages I last heard about his political views. His plans for the nation? Is this like a reverse ploy by the media. "Hey we don't want a black president, but we cant say that in public. What to do......Hey! I know! Lets exhaust the issue. Make a big deal out of everything he does until everyone's sick of him. Then when he's talking about serious issues no one will listen!" We all know how short an average American's attention span is.......

So what to do? Ask the media to back off? Advise Obama to stay under the radar? I couldn't say. I cant vote so this is just a spectator sport for me. I think ....no I KNOW black America needs a shining example. Its not right to make Obama the knight on the white horse, but right now he's the only educated black man black people might listen to. They've totally ostracized Cosby for telling them the truth (and I'm not very popular either to be honest....) and Jesse and Al just need to shut up. They're dummies with loud voices (empty barrels......).

as incoherent as you are, you've hit the nail on the head. Obama's like a fading fad now. he better have something up his sleeve, or we'll be asking "what barracks"?
