Spanked by Obama?

My teddy bear was pleased with my recent trip to the States, as I brought back a present for him. He’s now proudly sporting an “Obama 08” badge – which looks a little incongruous on his monk’s habit, it must be said, but bears can’t be choosy.

I was amused to read recently about 95-year-old Charles Edwards presenting said Presidential Candidate (how wonderful to write that!) with a maple walking stick. Obama waved it about, commenting:

“This is a beautiful stick. I really like this. And if members of congress don’t pass my health care bill? I’m ready! I’ll whoop them. I’ll whoop them! That’s right. They better not mess with me. I’ll have that stick.”

Haron is at this very moment preparing her run for Congress – on an anti-healthcare reform ticket.

    There’s been a fair amount of chatter over here about apparently not one, but two bottom pats that Obama delivered to his wife Michelle and were caught on CNN. I don’t know if the clip is up on YouTube, though I was dedicated enough to wade through a political thread on SSS to try to find out. No luck.

    Anyway, several people have posted on various boards that it would be great to have a spanko president. As I’ve read similar stories about George and Laura, I have to think it’s not a sufficient criterion…

    Haron, please let me know if you need any help with your campaign 😉

    You should be ashamed: your headline made me spit out my Cheerios. :) Go Obama!

    He’s *so* sexy… I’d vote for him just to see him on TV more often. And Abel… Why do you have a Teddy Bear?

    I had a little bet with myself about who would mention the Teddy bear first… I won! 😉
