Being completely unaware that 90 days, 90 reasons was even a thing, I was really confused when I clicked a link in a Patton Oswalt tweet, which linked to his contribution, no 17, and the most recent of a proposed 90.
So, obviously it's day 17, I am, as usual, late to the party, and you probably all already know all about this project...however...
According to their "about" page people are compiling 90 "Why I am voting for Obama" contributions from "a wide range of cultural figures."
From today's, Patton Oswalt entry: (same link as above)
I’m seeing too many people, people who should know better, who truly think that life should be an endless hunching over a food bowl, chasing everyone else away, without respite. Fear is the fuel, and nothing frightens them more than people who aren’t fueled by fear.
And [Obama has] acted, as president, the way that people who become rich and know how to spend their money act. He's traveled the world, broadened his horizons. And in his travels, maybe, maybe he's tried to conquer some of the fear which, let's face it, none of us truly never rid ourselves of. But goddamit, he's trying. Mitt Romney is the only person I've ever seen who's traveled the world in wealth and comfort and managed to narrow the canvas of his experience and opinions.
I actually haven't finished reading through all 17 entries yet, entries from the likes of Paul Simon, Reza Aslan, and Lemony Snicket, but I'm already looking forward to seeing who the other 73 contributors will be
they're teasing Ann Hathaway and Susan Sarandon..
Have a great weekend...take care.
