Obama has Another John Kerry Moment

BY TAYLOR MARSH

Cagle Cartoons


Obama got confused again. Not in that we’ve got 57 states way, but in that John Kerry way.

It’s SUNRISE, not “Sunshine,” sweetie.


At first, it seemed as if Barack Obama might just be speaking figuratively,
as is his wont sometimes. “How’s it going, Sunshine? Thank you. Thank
you. Thank you. Thank you everybody. It’s good to be in Sunshine!” Obama
declared on taking the stage this afternoon for a rally at the BankAtlantic
Arena in Broward County, Fla., just west of Ft. Lauderdale. …

But then he said it again, and again — “When we are unified sunshine,
nobody can stop us!” — and it became clear: Obama thought he was in
Sunshine, Fla. But he was not. He was in Sunrise, the name given to this particular
swath of South Florida palm trees, bungalows and outlet stores. …

Sheesh, this is getting ridiculous.

Now I’m not bitter about it. But it does make me want to cling to the reality that the popular vote matters.
