My old friends: “Hil” and “O”

Let’s save TV space and keep politics online. They’re more fun that way.

I used to feel out-of-touch with politics, especially with presidential campaigns. Yet, this 2008 presidential campaign is different. I know what you are thinking, “It’s because there’s a black man and a woman running for president, duh.” No, boo boo, its because Obama and Hillary are my good friends. I mean, you would support your friends if they were running for office, wouldn’t you?

Obama, Hillary, and I have been friends since last year. We were introduced by some of my buddies on Facebook. I mean in college years, that’s a lifetime! They tell me all about the things they are doing, and frankly it’s getting a little overwhelming. I mean, don’t you hate it when you have those two friends who are at odds with each other. Going to movies with them sucks! Any way, Obama called a few nights ago. As usual, he did all the talking – but, I was listening and my family was really excited to hear from him. I love this digital world thing because Obama, Hillary, and I can really stay connected via the web. Did I mention that I was a donor? I know my friends are not using me, even with my donor status, but Hil and O, you can write on a sista’s facebook wall every now and then, I mean damn! I still love you, though, especially because you encourage me to stay involved in my community and you ALWAYS know where the polling places are.

I know my friends are going to be really busy once they win office, nevertheless I know they’ll keep in touch. They’re digital.
