Law professor Tom Smith has summarized the reasons to vote for Barack Obama. The whole “endorsement” is worth reading, but the pith of it is –
all the talk of Hope and Change can be distilled into a two-fold message that is both direct and pure: If Obama is elected President, the government will give me money. And second, that would be fair.
How can I disagree? Alas, though I too need the dough, I’m caught up in identity politics and plan to vote for my fellow Cranky-Old-Guy American. Sure, I know I’m fated to be just a C.O.G. in the Obama Nation, but, after he shuts up Rush Limbaugh, shuts down Fox News and shuts out all those nasty neo-cons, the Wealth-Spreader no doubt will let a few of us remain at large as evidences of His gracious clemency.
