Natasha Obama to Barack “Daddy do you know where the hell you are?”
So the 24-hour Beijing channel is now gone so what will we do? Watch the 24-hour Democratic National Convention channel of course. Yes, we tried to look over the HUGE head of Wolf Blitzer to try and watch some of the speakers they were talking over but thankfully they shut the F up during Ted Kennedy (he lobes us gays and we lob him back).
All in all it was probably for the best because of the speeches I saw, they were pretty boring. No mention of the war, the economy, the gas sitch but maybe they’re just trying to ease us into that stuff. The most exciting part (save the ladies in the over-patriotic vests) was the little sound-o-meter on the left hand side of the screen. Just in case you don’t know who’s popular and who sucks the wind out of the room. That little device told you how fired up the crowd was.
But the very best part of the night came after Michelle Obama gave the keynote address and then brought she and Barack’s two adorable daughters Malia Ann and Natasha out on stage. After waving to the crowd Barack popped up via satellite from some random couch in Kansas City, MO. Despite the screen graphic saying Kansas City, MO Barack addressed everyone by announcing he was having a nice visit with this family in St. Louis. The family kept smiling not wanting to embarrass the next president of the US with a small mistake but little Natasha wasn’t going to let her dad off the hook.
“What city are you in Daddy?” the seven year old said with a smirk. “I’m in Kansas City sweetheart,” replied Barack probably not noticing his mistake. Hmm, maybe it would take more seven year-olds in politics to speak the truth and keep it real. Don’t you agree?
