Mixing it up with Obama

My most recent note to his Myspace page-

So, the wife came to town, met with the same old same old crowd at the chi chi place, met with "real people" did she? I am disappointed, there were tons of us everyday folks around. . .hard to see from the limo, I guess.
I hope before the week is out that Mr. Obama will offer something beyond the flowery words to struggling families like mine- healthcare, how exactly are you going to do that? How are you going to address the huge loans today's college grads are facing?
Brass tacks are now required, I get the whole "change" thing, but without a clear vision as to how you hope to bring about change in an arena like Washington, you are not going to get far.

So about Obama

At least his underling replied!!!!

Here's the deal- Idecided that since KIA is voting in his very. first. election! I would try to feel out the attitudes of the people running. To that end, I emailed Hilary, Obama, and McCain and invited them to come for lunch/supper. . .and only Obama replied, well his people, but you know what I mean!

I was very surprised, I half expected a real reply from him. . .personally, like it's a fan letter! Sad, but true!

SO, I revise my previous post, to clarify that at the VERY least one of his people replied, which is more than I can say for the rest of the wannbes!

Yes, I am very proud of KIA, he is really looking at this hard- he is watching the debates, reading up, and discussing the different aspects of the race, and I am having a GREAT time playing Devil's advocate/naysayer. . .and having an even BETTER time watching him step up to argue with me.

Yes, perfectly raised children may be easier, but KIAS are sooo much more interesting and fun!

So, I tried out this whole "I am change" thing of Obama's, I am convinced that until we have people who actually MEET with the "masses" we will continue to have crap leadership- until there are people in power who can put faces with names and remember those they serve, we will continue with the same garbage- it is sooooo easy to screw people over when they are nothing but a shapes lass of popular poll blips. . .so I decided to invite Barak for dinner. . .what a joke!
See the carefully worded pat response below. . .which blows me off WHILE encouraging me to get 'involved"

Gee, I am already pretty sick of the get involved thing. . .I just tried to get involved, and I was blown off!

So here is the heartfelt reply to my sincere invitation-
