(9,289 posts)Thank you Senator, um, how do you pronounce your name? Obama? Does it rhyme with Alabama? Well, anyways, the "me" decade is almost over, and good riddance, and far as I'm concerned. The 00's were simply 10 years of people thinking of nothing but themselves. No wonder we were unable to get together and solve any of the many serious problems facing our nation. Oh sure, some people did do some positive things in the 00's - like jogging - but always for the wrong reasons, for their own selfish, personal benefit. Well, I believe the 10's are gonna have to be different. I think that people are going to stop thinking about themselves, and start thinking about me, Al Franken. That's right. I believe we're entering what I like to call the Al Franken Decade. Oh, for me, Al Franken, the 10's will be pretty much the same as the 00's. I'll still be thinking of me, Al Franken. But for you, you'll be thinking more about how things affect me, Al Franken. When you see a news report, you'll be thinking, "I wonder what Al Franken thinks about this thing?", "I wonder how this recession thing is hurting Al Franken?" And you women will be thinking, "What can I wear that will please Al Franken?", or "What can I not wear?" You know, I know a lot of you out there are thinking, "Why Al Franken?" Well, because I thought of it, and I'm gonna be a senator, so I've already gotten the jump on you. So, I say let's leave behind the fragmented, selfish 00's, and go into the 10's with a unity and purpose. That's what I think. I'm Al Franken.
