Obama's a Mac, Clinton's a PC

[crispini]

Okay, I found this amusing. Sorry if you've already seen it.

Obama's a Mac, Clinton's a PC

With John Edwards out of the race, Democratic voters must squarely confront a choice this election season every bit as stark as that facing millions of Americans each year as they replace their outdated computers: Mac or PC.

We have all seen the ads, we know the right thing to do is to buy a Macintosh, but we hesitate. Will I be able to open all my PC files? Will it be able to run Outlook? Am I really going to make those photo albums and movies anyway? Am I cool enough for a Mac?

Obama, like the Mac, seems almost too good to be true. He's young, hip, inspiring, and promising to do for Democrats what Ronald Reagan did for Republicans, assemble and maintain the working majority in Washington desperately needed to enact changes in foreign policy, health care and energy security. And in soaring moments at the podium -- at the Democratic Convention in 2004, in Iowa at the Jefferson/Jackson dinner, at Ebenezer Baptist over the Martin Luther King holiday weekend -- Obama appears ready and able to make good on these grand promises.

4. Boy, here we go.

:popcorn: Two flamewars for the price of one.

Almost as good a deal as this MacBook I can run two OSes on (I suppose it's fair since the computer cost as much as two PCs, but everything else since then's been free *knocks on wood*) :P.
