What's For Dessert?

The media finally decided it was time to dig into who the "real" Barack Obama is. What they have discovered is what many had been saying all along. Obama has a sketchy past, and more skeletons than his closet can hold.

I watched his now praised "race" speech last week, aimed at quelling criticism from the uproar over his pastor's overtly anti-American rhetoric. I was not impressed. It was the same tired, over-scripted mess. Obama is a gifted orator, and no one can take that from him. What he lacks is sincerity, and the ability to deliver the dessert he is promising this country. He could read the back of Betty Crocker cake mix and sound convincing...but that doesn't mean you should vote for him. In fact I think we can all consider Obama the Betty Crocker of the presidential election. (Yes Betty Crocker is a fictional, white, female but don't read too much into it Mr. Plouffe)

As much as I love mouthwatering, cakey, goodness, once the sugary, deliciousness wears away, it is nothing more than a guilt filled political calorie binge, heading our country toward another Bill Clinton style heart-attack.

What else is in the oven? You've got cooked goose a la Hillary. Not very appetizing and far too dry for my taste. And finally you have warm apple pie. An American Classic, steadfast, and trustworthy with broad appeal. McCain satisfies my hunger for a politician who has all the right ingredients.

Who wants a powdered, cake mix for President anyway?
