Perhaps we at Fast Track are a teeny bit cynical and also subscribe to Lennon’s line that “it’s all showbiz”.
We watched and re-watched The Obamamessiah’s State Of The Union speech and, seriously, it could have been listening to the Glass Onion: We have heard it all before.
As the Bee Gees’ once sang, it was only words. Lots of them- and we have to wonder if even the Big O knew what he was saying.
Of course, it’s a given that he will have his second Go at El Presidente as the Republican’s have two fuckwits trying to compete with Slick Jick- the Mitt and the Newt- the Smothers Brothers of American Politics.
Yes, Obama is smooth and, yes, he is a wonderful speech-maker- with his teleprompter- and yes, he probably doesn’t have a fucking clue what he is saying.
It all just rings true and earnest in a hollow way and it could be Sidney Poitier up there. Or Denzel.
Hey, it’s just another black man in the White House making white noise.
So, we were thinking, what if this speech as given by George Clooney?
What if he announced that his Administration would include Brad and Angelina, Matt and Ben? And Denzel?
For the older folk, Morgan Freeman, Dylan, Jack Nicholson, Robert Redford, Warren Beatty and DeNiro?
And what about roles for Oprah and Halle Berry?
Think about it: It’s not so far-fetched as what we have is a President wanting to be a celebrity.
Kick him out and get some real celebs into the mix- but not Lindsay Lohan, The Hoff and Simon Cowell.
REALLY think about it: Who would be your Celebrity Dream Team to run America?
Tell us and there could be a prize for you.
