After an exhausting weekend of discord unleashed by the Stochastic Terrorist in Chief and his evil spawn, I thought it might be therapeutic to provide an update on the exemplary actions of a true leader, our last real President. Barack Obama should be an inspiration to us all.
We are counting down the final hours to the election now. That means one thing for sure; robocall season is now upon us. In the last election I received “personal” calls from Hillary Clinton, Dianne Feinstein and a whole host of other politicians, all of whom urged me to vote. Much as I would have enjoyed chatting with them, I couldn’t because there wasn’t anyone on the other end of the line. Their voices were all just taped messages, robocalled to every registered Democrat in the area.
Political robocalls are ubiquitous, and I dread receiving them. I typically hang up as soon as I hear a politician’s voice on the other end. I will admit that, if I am in a mischievous mood or a little tipsy, instead of hanging up, I might interrupt the robovoice and ask a serious policy question, enjoying the absurd fantasy of a famous politician actually discussing the issues with me on the phone.
Now, what if it was not so absurd after all? This past weekend, President Obama joined a phonebank to make calls to Democrats urging them to get out and vote. He did not make a recording. He actually made real phone calls to real voters. Needless, to say, the last thing that the voters on the other end of his line were expecting was to be connected to the actual President Obama.
The following is a video from President Obama’s twitter feed of him calling a voter asking her to vote for Joe, with her on the other end processing the fact that it was actually the real President Obama on the phone with her. The video is heartwarming:
So, next time you get a GOTV robocall, particularly if it is from President Obama, don’t hang up because the voice on the other end of the line might be the real deal.
If President Obama is doing his part to GOTV for Joe, so can we all. So if you are feeling down or depressed about the current state of affairs, watch this clip of President Obama working to get out the vote for Joe, and realize that this is how normal our country’s leadership can be again. All we have to do to make things normal again is get everyone to vote, and bury the want to be dictator in a blue tidal wave of votes.
The early vote looks to be tremendous so far, over 94 million banked votes, as I write this. Now let’s GOtheremainingV (except for the Trumpers, of course). As for the Trumpers, they won’t listen to a thing Obama says. Instead, they can wait until the “real” election day, Wednesday, November 4, 2020, to cast their vote in person, just like their stable genius would want.
