Obama Tebow 2012: A Winning Ticket
The stage is set and the campaign signs are ready. “Obama Tebow 2012. WE JUST WIN.” Has a nice ring to it doesn’t it. Two men who face hateful opposition, more for who they are, rather than what they’ve accomplished. The terms Black and Democrat cloud the positive job growth, car industry turn-around, and defense victories. The terms Gator and Jesus cloud the amazing plays, positive energy, and work ethic. They don’t claim to do anything spectacular, they just do what’s necessary, and that is what we need in the White House in 2012.
“Scoreboard!…Scoreboard!….Scoreboard!” When I was playing football back in the days that was a familiar chant from the home team crowd. It usually made its appearance toward the end of the game when the home team was winning and the opposition was a bunch of trash talkers looking to pick fights on the field. The scoreboard chant signified the best kind of trash talk, the kind of trash talk that has no rebuttal. Attack our personality, attack our methods, attack our faith, but no matter what you say; you can’t change the scoreboard.
It’s getting to be about that time. Matter of fact with the State of the Union being tonight, I’m hoping to hear that same chant from the Democrats in Congress. Ok, so going from losing 750k jobs to 22 months of positive job growth isn’t the same as going to the Super Bowl, I’ll give you that. That said, for a country who at the beginning of the season was simply hoping for next year’s first round draft pick, getting past the first round of the playoffs is pretty darn good (That “darn” was for you Tebow). And that’s NOT to say that we’re settling for the playoffs. However, there’s something else about these two guys; you can take them for their word. Yeah, they didn’t walk on water, eat bullets, and shit ice cream, but you get this feeling that their setbacks were due to their underestimation of the competition rather than an unwillingness to produce results. These guys are not just talk; through their actions they have proved that they are capable and have a knack for success. You could even say that Obama’s record as a starter is similar to Tebow’s regular season record, 7-4. But ladies and gentleman, that’s a winning record. More importantly, when these guys say they are working to get better everyday, you believe them.
During his 2008 presidential campaign Obama made a statement about having a righteous wind at his back. Many felt Tebow had the same thing going for him this season. I know what you think I’m going to say, but don’t worry, I don’t think it was Jesus. I think the righteous wind was simply the hot breath of the haters in opposition of a movement that at it’s core emanates goodness. The thing they were violently opposing ends up being what they get because the power of hate works in reverse. In other words, it’s better to be Pro something than Anti something (watch “The Secret”). So haters, a word of advice, you’re better off being pro-Romney, pro-Gingrich, or pro-Santorum…if you can stomach it. If you can’t stomach it, then why don’t you jump on this Obama-Tebow bandwagon and be on the right side of WINNING!
