    Friends,
    Examine the following Youtube video of tourists in Africa enjoying some bathing elephants. One can not help but draw comparisons to today’s Obama supporters in the reactions to the elephants:

    <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xCf950nbCVY&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xCf950nbCVY&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

    Tourists’ Reactions of Elephants Bathing:
    Oh he’s so cute, this is awesome, this is amazing, I’m having an orgasm just thinking about it, this is nirvana!

    This is similar to Obama supporters’ reactions to an Obama speech. Very similar.

    Harsh Reality for the Tourists:
    You are literally just a few feet away from a dangerous wild animal with no brain and aggressive tendencies. You are in extreme danger. You could very well be stomped to death by this herd of wild elephants.

    Harsh Reality for the Obama Supporters:

    You have an untested candidate who is totally unfit and unqualified to serve as President. Why are you lured in by this candidate? What has he done to deserve consideration for the highest office in the world? What practical experience does he have? What evidence do you have that he can work with Congress? What evidence do you have that suggests he can be the Commander in Chief? Why are so many very dangerous figures influencing him, such as Jeremiah Wright, Rashid Khalidi, Nadhmi Auchi, Tony Rezko, and Bill Ayers? Why is his wife not proud to be an American? Why won’t he put his hand on his heart during the Star Spangled Banner? DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING YOURSELF INTO? I am not saying this to scare people, I am saying this because I am truly concerned that we don’t know everything we need to know about Obama. This blind willingness to accept him as a messiah is unconscionable and the height of naiveté. Will you be like the African elephant adventurers, who were mauled by the elephants? Or will you be smart?

    Oh he’s so cute, and articulate! Oh he says what I want to hear. Oh he’s so…. ARRRRGGGHHH, OH SH*!, *&!%, HELP ME, I’M BEING TRAMPLED TO DEATH.

    The choice is yours.

    I guess the irony of using elephants is totally lost on you.

    Well that type of bigotry fits in very well with the candidate of Jeremiah Wright ...

    It's worse than I thought.

    These are the kind of reactions that Mr. Obama is going to have to deal with when he wins the presidency. It's people like TJ that really makes me fear for Mr Obama's life. I hope he has excellent protection. Because we have no idea what kind of deranged, psychopaths are out there or what they are capable of doing.

    I'm not sure what's funnier: the original post or mcmark taking it seriously.

    Um...I'm insulted for the elephants.

    With that said, disreagarding the dumbness of the comparision, one always hopes that in choosing a political candidate, there is substance beyond the flashyness...in which there is with Obama. I just hope that people take the time to read up on his politcal stance; I myself find his position to be quite reasonable.

    Then again, I'm of the opinion that after 8 years, anything is better then Bush. Hillaroid. Balack Obama. Cheater McCain. Trailer Park Boys. Anything is better then Bush at this point. So, looking at it this way...XD
