It's Time for Some Campaignin'

I stumbled upon this video of the Presidential Elections and laughed my ass off. It's pure, pure satirical gold. A surprisingly fair and even commentary on all the major stars of the elections. Totally worth a watch, even for those who don't really follow the elections.




The video is pretty brilliant. I love how they depict Obama riding a (pink-maned!) unicorn in his rhetoric rich disney-esque world (with bouncing friendly woodland animals and everything) and McCaine as a war-mongering general who's about to drop dead. Of course, not forgetting Hillary whacking Bill with a frying pan with Lewinsky watching (because of how he ruined her campaign?).

Ah, great video to mark the start of major campaigning that Obama/Biden and McCaine/Palin will embark on from now till November 4th. Meanwhile, I'll watch in anticipation (and evil glee) how Americans will once again decide on who to be the most powerful person in the world. Let's hope they don't screw up like the last two times. Though kudoes to McCaine, true to his maverick style, for making the race much more interesting by introducing Sarah Palin into the game. I'm not sure whether American women will fall for his little trick to get their votes. Governor Sarah Palin may be a strong, spirited and pretty woman but she is certainly no Hillary Clinton. Far from it. You don't really want a 2 year old governor of Alaska to be the vp of a country like USA. But it's hard to criticize her lack of expertise when on the other end, you have someone named Barack Obama running for top office. McCaine has just set a little loop trap for his opponent and we shall see whether it works or not. I just hope die-hard Clinton supporters would not swing to McCaine just because a woman is on the ticket. Can't you see through the clumsy attempt to get your votes? Seriously, Hillary's so going to run for 2012; so in the meantime, conserve your votes for her.

And to complicate matters more, Hurricane Gustav is coming and how Bush reacts to this major disaster will, once again, play an important role in the election. The coming months will be exciting for America, and the world, so let's sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
