During a campaign stop in Dallas, Presidential Candidate, Illinois Senator, and very likely a real life Superhero in disguise, Barack Obama received applause for blowing his nose.
Asked what they liked about the speech one tearful Obama supporter stated, “He just… he just…” The woman stumbled backwards and fainted, so I was forced to move to a supporter sitting atop her husband’s shoulders swinging her bra over her head.
She told me, “He’s just a real person, you know. Like, he was up there and he needed a change. He needed to stop and blow his nose. Most politicians wouldn’t do that. He doesn’t just preach change he lives it. You can hear the change when he walks. It sounds like a lot of quarters, but I bet he has some pennies in there too because he believes they’re all equal.”
When I tried to explain that a quarter and a penny aren’t at all equal, she just shook her head patted me on the shoulder and said, “Barack will change that. We have to hope that change in change can come, and that change will give us hope.”
As I sit here, I can only think myself lucky. Had the Super Senator had intestinal issues rather than a head cold the results could have been disastrous. I know the fuss we make over our two year old when she goes poop in the potty. Had Barack excused himself to the restroom, the shear energy created by his triumphant reentry and statement, “I went potty,” may have literally blown the roof off of Reunion Arena.
