He is so damn good, he can ride a bike with no handle bars


Today, along with 60,000 others, I went to see Barack downtown. For those of you who missed it, here is a summary of what he said:


Look at me, look at me hands in the air like it's good to be ALIVE and on top


And "I'm Proud to be an American"


Look at me. Look at me. Just called to say that it's good to be ALIVE, In such a small world


I know how to run a business

And I can make you wanna buy a product

Movers shakers and producers

Me and my friends understand the future

I see the strings that control the systems


I can lead a nation with a microphone


With a microphone


With a microphone


My reach is global


My tower secure


My cause is noble


My power is pure


I can ride my bike with no handlebars

No handlebars


OK, so maybe that's not EXACTLY what he said. I stole these words from a song by the Flowbots. I heard it on my way home and couldn't help but think that this should be Barack's theme song. Anything to get him away from that awful Bruce Springsteen.....


And I'm pretty sure, even though I am very persuasive, that I couldn't get him to agree to use "Baby's Got Back" for his campaign song. Al Gore, maybe. But not Barack.


But I have to tell you that this man can lead a nation with a microphone. I saw it today. In the emotion of the crowd, in the passion seen on their faces. It was quite an amazing experience, one that I won't forget for a long time. The fact that one man brought out people from all walks of life, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, just to hear him speak and lend their support is SUPER DUPER AWESOME.


I just now hope that all of those moved by his speech get out there and vote.
