I am a conservative, both on foriegn policy and fiscal issues, but a libertarian on social and personal issues.  In my dreams I am the “swing voter” this election — and I only mean that in a political sense. But, as the election nears, I think I’ll vote for Barack Obama, and here are my top 10 reasons:

1.  He’s a smooth talker — and I love smooth talkers; they are the consummate seducers, and I like to listen to them talk the ink off of Webster’s definitions (i.e. to define welfare payouts as tax cuts);

2.  He claims (and who wouldn’t believe this) he will spend another trillion-plus in give-aways and balance the budget;

3.  His long and layered association with ACORN has taught him the skills and benefits of intimidation, which I believe will help him deal with our most reluctant European allies;

4. His desire to lie with “educational guru” Bill Ayers. whom we all want to forgive for his bombing of Americans, will bring “political correctness” to our kindergartners, even though it will accelerate our falling behind other societies, which foolishlessly concentrate on languages, math, science, history and art;

5. His 360 degree turn on accepting public financing shows he can abandon agreements, like North Korea’s vertically-challenged dictator, and change his pledges — on a dime;

6. His 20-year relationship with  the anti-American anti-white Reverend Wright, which he enthusiastically shared with his two daughters, shows American-haters he feels their pain;

7.  His acceptance of significant financial contributions from Fannie May in his first year shows how quickly he can make his desires known (in exchange for endorsing a lack of oversight of the mortgage giant), and how much he cherishes his well-heeled friends, which has been duly noted, no doubt, by the sheiks of Saudi Arabia and rulers of China;

8. He understands Islam as well as any American Hussein on the planet, and will insist that the rest of us learn and appreciate their culture and nuances, without burdening them with learning about our multi-cultural system;

9.  His tax-raising job-killing and protectionist ideas shows that he can work “across the aisle” — this time by holding hands with the ghost of Herbert Hoover; and

10. He’s damn good looking!

I can’t wait to bathe in the light of his “change” — whatever that is!
