Vote for Obama and let's see how NASA goes away.

Supporters of Hillary…

They yelled “You go, girl!”

Oh she of ever changing hair,

and not an ounce of flair…

She would meander…

and cackle “ha-ha!”

and while she tried to be a star

Obama came in from afar

He commanded a crowded floor

And Oprah added more

They were young, hip, and attractive

Who could ask for more?

It was pure Oprah…

and Obamamania…

From Hawaii to Wisconsin to Havana…

Obama reached out…

Hill hates republicans…

Barack inspired passion,

Hill was out of fashion…

Obamamania…

Hill lost the love…

His name was Fidel…

He ruled an Island…

Decrepit in his chair

He saw Hillary standing there

When she finished…

He called her over…

2 socialists in love…

Until hubby Bill took off the gloves…

And then the punches flew…

Chairs were smashed in two…

One man collapsed from boredom upon the floor…

But who bored who?

Not Oprah…

Or Obama…

They were hot from Honolulu to Havana…

Obamamania…

had swept Wisconsin

Barack brought more passion

Hill fell further out of fashion

Obamamania…

She lost more love

Her name was Hillary…

They once screamed “You go, girl!”

But that was many years ago

When she and Bill ran the show

There is still dancing…

but not for Hillary

Fading like Fidel…

Her dreams have gone to hell…

She’s now even more unkind

She beats Bill till he’s blind

She lost her youth,

She lost the election,

Now she’s lost her mind

Because Oprah…

and Obama…

Are off to Texas and Ohio with momentum

They worry about John McCain…

and the General Election Campaign…

Heroism vs passion…

Both gave Hill a smashing…

Yet she learned nothing…

2012 with love…

Ok folks, I admit it. I have some serious screws loose.

I guess I am just giddy. First the New England Patriots lose.

Then Fidel Castro leaves not with a bang, but with a whimper, in the form of a note, most likely one spelled badly.

Anything truly is possible. I truly still believe Hillary will somehow find a way at the 11th hour to steal…

CNN projects Obama win in WI. That’s nine straight gold medals in a row. And number ten is imminent in Obama’s home state of Hawaii.

Hillary brags about her foreign policy readiness. She “stood up to China.”

And pocketed their cash.

Billary had a quite lucrative posture with China, did they not? Maybe she meant China propped up the Clinton?

Note: She’s attacking Obama, not McCain.

A sure sign of the person that is behind this late in the game, when they have to attack the other person in their primary, instead of the frontrunner in the other party.

Obama says “I believe in the free market,” then proceeds to bash the free market.

He’s for them and against them? What a conundrum that must place him in, huh?

Geez. I suppose that is a different twist on the “I was for it, before I was against it, we have heard from so many others.”

One line a reported 400 yards long. People in line for hours. Out of ballots nearly everywhere so they were handing out pieces of paper for people to write on. In short - the usual chaos when Dems are in charge. But a lot of people... Hillary was on the news by satellite to explain her ties to Hawaii - "I've been to Hawaii..." (Really.) OK she said more...said she worked on health care for Hawaii, supports the Akaka bill, payment to Filipino veterans, and more money for the tourist industry. With so much chaos it may take awhile to sort it out. Inoue supports Clinton, so many drones may vote that way, but I'm guessing the turnout was for Obama. Aloha Michelle, are you still up?
