Is This The Obama Campaign?
I received a fund-raising appeal yesterday from Obama '08. The donation card read "we are the ones we've been waiting for... we are the change we seek." (Note: I did not add the ....)
I have a few questions:
1)Am I the one I've been waiting for?
2)Are only the Obama supporters (I am a nominal Clinton supporter) the ones who have been awaited?
3)Why have these individuals been waiting for themselves- haven't they already been there or are they still looking for themselves?
4)Weren't these individuals waiting for Obama- or the change an extraordinary individual such as he can bring- rather than themselves?
5)Is this truly "the end of history," now that the change sought has been located in themselves?
and ultimately:
Is this campaign an exercise in self-actualization?

This is why I like Barack Obama. As much as he looks down on "PR"---his campaign has mastered it. The ability of the Obama campaign to use reverse psychology on the American people is remarkable. I had no idea, I guess I was voting for myself all along.
