A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
On the evening when Senator Barack Obama is making history, it seems things are getting worse for his rival, Senator John McCain. You know things are bad when your own sister-in-law is saying she’s voting for Barack Obama:
DENVER (AP) — Cindy McCain’s half sister says she will not vote for Republican John McCain and plans to cast her ballot for his Democratic rival, Barack Obama.
“I have a different political standpoint,” Kathleen Hensley Portalski said in an interview with “Us Weekly,” published online Thursday. “I’m voting for Obama.”
I guess hearing your sister deny your existance and say she’s an only child wouldn’t have anything to do with it, would it?
Or, your sister and brother-in-law owning so many houses, they can’t keep track, wouldn’t have anything to do with it, would it?
Or, maybe the fact is, your brother-in-law is NOT the best man for the job, and you know it. Even in a “Christian Debate”, he still has to cheat and have the answers fed to him as if he cheated on an exam in high school.
There’s a lot of things you simply cannot make up, and the fact that John McCain’s own sister-in-law refuses to vote for him, is one of them. This development is very welcomed on the night that Barack Obama is making history, and his internal detractors are finally getting on board with the program.
