Dream Team
Barack: Just give it a thought. That's all I ask.
Omar: Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the offer. But I'm not even sure I'd want to be Vice President. All that hectic travel and campaigning, and my prize is that I get to be President of the Senate? And seriously, you think America is ready to vote for two brothers named "Barack" and "Omar"?
Barack: Prize is to be "President of the Senate"?! (leaning in, whispering) Let me let you in on a little politician secret: (showing his empty pocket) I haven't carried a wallet since my keynote at the '04 convention. Once people learn your name, everything is free! Free food, free clothes, whatever you want! See this BlackBerry? I've got four more of these things back at my office. All free.
Omar: Yeeeeaaaaah, now you're talking my language, B. Gimmie your card, I'll give you a call.

Oh Omar. *shakes head* Casting off your morals at the drop of a BlackBerry. Tsk, tsk.
jasmine said:
did you just call barack obabma...B?
Jon said:
I, for one, do not find it the least bit despicable to be swayed by a blackberry. I can be easily bought with technology. Please put my name on the list for consideration as a possible cabinet member. I'm white, so I can totally be the token white guy.
Daniel said:
So Barack is gonna wait until you are eligible? Is that in '12 or '16?
Becky said:
wait- y'all are related? you mean to tell me he's your BROTHER?
(sorry, i couldn't resist, what with all the "yee-haws" and fun at my expense over at my site)
oh yeah, haboob.

I can't help noticing 'B' needs a Hello My Name Is tag... but you don't.
I said:
Syar - No, two BlackBerrys, plus free food.
Jasmine - ha, you said "obabma." And yes, I did.
Jon - I'll put in a good word for you.
Daniel - Or maybe I lied on my PM job application, and I'm really over 35 already? We may never know.
Becky - Yeah, we're brothers. Yee Haw!
I said:
RaJ - I can attribute that to my local celebrity status.
Also, I just noticed that your 2007 comments have all come from "Radioactive Jam." While I understand the pressures of coming up with a new name every time, I'll admit to being a little disapointed. Radioactive Voter? Radioactive Electoral College?

Shave your face, and you're practically identical twins!

Hah! A Blackberry! I turn my nose to Blackberries!
Actually, if someone were to offer me one, or four, for free, i guess i'd take it.
That lady in the back looks like she's trying to eat Barak's shoulder.

Omar - I think you've been overindulging in the buffet table. America is open-minded about race, nationality, gender - but we draw the line at weight.
Radioactive Jam said:
Boring I know. But it's a temporary thing, a side effect of slogging through the computer quagmire that is my home.
Working on getting the swamp drained.

I had such high, high hopes for you Omar. Surely, you can do better than politics. You're too nice to be a political sidekick.

Awww, I was going to volunteer myself as the token white guy, but Jon beat me to it.
Can I be the token hardline fundamentalist instead? I've already got the hijaab.
