Baracking the Vote

Well as everyone can guess, I didn’t actually win the election for president. Barack Obama, as it turns out, ran a really strong candidacy and though I have to admit that I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t get the chance to debate him, I’m still proud of his win.

I think there was a key difference between our campaigns and that’s what really got me. Obama had a very effective television/newspaper/radio/Internet-based campaign while mine was mostly housed within this blog. I think there was a bit of a difference in the spending of campaign finances as well.

That’s OK though. I’ve got a full plate as it is, I really don’t have time to be the leader of the free world. Just look at all the stuff that I have to do.


This week, I’m helping out a friend of mine who needs a deputy while his is out for a short while.


Next month, I’m testing a new warp drive with Commander Hugh.


After that, I am going to be fighting a runaway robot.


Of course, there are always space zombies to fight.


About 6 months from now, I’ll be wrestling a woolly mammoth.


And early next year, I’ll be going on a ride along in a brand new rocket sled with the Space Patrol.

So there you go, I’m just really too busy to be president right now. Sure, it would be fun and all, but I just don’t have the time for it.

Hang on how do you know what you're doing in the future?

Is this latent future sight the reason why a clutz like you has survived until now?

I want a recount! This election was suspicious..you were never mentioned.

Hope you're coming to the Enterprise Christmas Party. I'll try to see you don't end up in the brig or get assimilated.

I guess it's just as well Obama won. I just can't see him taking the time to fight zombies. And helping Sheriff Andy? Not high profile enough.

Wolverine -- how could I be a lone wolf if I join a buncha teams, though?

Koma -- Well, I have a lot of this stuff scheduled out already, you know. Fighting the space zombies is just a given.

Captain Picard -- I never did get the results from the Votertron machines in Ohio.

SQT -- you're right, leave the presidenting to the presidents and the intergalactic gladiatoring to the intergalactic gladiators.

Sorry you didn't win, Jon. I can't help but feel slightly responsible, in some small way. If there's ever another Presidential election, you can always run again.

Yeah, just wait 'til next year, right?
