Google just keeps on innovating. They don’t stop. A nice new feature for GTalk.

“Obama’s run is a fairy tale, Obama wasn’t really against the war, Obama took cocaine, Obama’s middle name is Hussein, Obama is like Jesse Jackson (they’re both black, get it), Obama isn’t pro-choice, Obama is for latte drinkers, Obama only wins caucuses, Obama only wins states that don’t matter, Obama is all talk and no action, Obama plagiarizes, Obama’s followers are a cult, Obama isn’t ready on day one, Obama might cause or not be able to handle a terrorist attack, Obama shouldn’t win because I am entitled and even if it takes Michigan, Florida, and superdelegates, even if it takes destroying the Democratic party and disregarding the will of the voters, I MUST WIN!!!”

Abraham Lincoln, the inexperienced former one-term congressman, had an easy act to follow.”

John Lewis, one of the most courageous Americans ever, a pillar of the civil rights movement, has changed his support from Clinton to Obama. Very disappointed by his failure to support Obama, I am now delighted by this news, that represents a big shift. Many other superdelegates will follow his lead, and the tide will continue to roll in Obama’s favor.
