My Official Endorsement

I would like to make an important announcement that everyone in the world will want to hear. I've thought long and hard about this. I've read a book. I've watched a youtube video and at least three debates. I have listened to important celebrity opinion. And now it is time to add my voice to the growing numbers. I support Barack Obama for President. Make no mistake and let me be perfectly clear about this: I am supporting Obama not just because I'm black, or a member of MoveOn, and not just because Barack is a handsome and inspiring figure who can string together a coherent, unscripted thought in an interview. And certainly not just because all of these cool celebrities sing in this sweet video. There are many, many other reasons that I throw the full weight of my support behind this candidate. Lots of reasons . Tons.




OK so, is it just me, or does anyone else think that Scarlett Johansson makes no sense in this video? Otherwise, I think it is a lovely little piece of positive propaganda.
