These superdelegates need to understand just how super Barack Obama is

by Sarah Morrison, Student political liaison

 

 

So, everyone just keeps talking about how these superdelegates could wind up deciding the whole Democratic primary and keep Obama from becoming the nominee even though he has more pledged delegates.

 

And who are these superdelegates? Did somebody else call them super or did they call themselves that? Because I would think if they truly are super people then they would already see how super-awesome Barack Obama is to be the next president.

 

Let’s list the ways, and we’ll call it Sarah’s Super “Super” List just for some fun:

 

Sarah’s Super “Super” List

Ways Obama is totally super

 

  1. He’s black. I think the fact that he’s black really makes him awesome because it could really help the nation come together and it could be really great for the African-American community. I don’t think it hurts his chances in the general election at all. In fact, I’m pretty sure some former congresswoman, Ferraro I think, even said the fact that Obama is black has helped him get where he is. So chalk black up to super!

 

  1. He’s a good speaker. Don’t you just get so tired of listening to Bush say those stupid things and stutter all the time? I do. Barack is so polished when he speaks, so you know he’s sincere enough about what he’s saying to rehearse it endlessly so it sounds just right. Sounds like super!

 

  1. He’s not old. Gosh, it’s like Hillary is older than my mom and any relatives of mine older than John McCain have all died. Old people don’t understand the youth of this country, including me. We have hopes and dreams. We don’t need a bunch of old people telling us that we need specific goals and honed skills to accomplish them just because they have “been through it before.” You hear that mom? I’m going to make it as an actress. I just have to believe. The promise of youth is super!

 

  1. He’s on Facebook. Enough said. I’m going to go poke him now. There’s a president you can SuperWall!

 

  1. He’s against war. All these other candidates voted for the war in Iraq. Obama didn’t and he wants to repair all those relations with the countries that don’t like us now. He’s going to sit down and talk to them. See, that’s a simple solution. But John McLame and Hillary Clint-spin think we have to keep worrying about our national security. No more wars would be super!

 

So this is why superdelegates and the regular delegates will make Barack Obama the Democratic nominee. SUPER! We will, we will BARACK you! We will, we will BARACK you!
