Beautiful Jamie Lee Curtis Blog: Thank You Barack Obama

[SunsetDreams]

Thank you Barack Obama.

Thank you for four years ago making me say out-loud, "Why can't he be our candidate?"

Thank you for blowing away the ether of complacency.

Thank you for beating that maver-"ICK" and his running date.

Thank you for being patient with this insane process we call democracy.

Thank you for your ambition and your drive, your mind and your gravitas.

Thank you for recognizing the needle and the damage done. The needle -- our addiction to more, better, faster, greasier, dirtier, celebrity lifestyles and prescription poisons and the damage done -- the Economic Crisis, the Health Care debacle, the State of Education. This is AMERICA. Health and Education should be #1.

Thank you for understanding World History, Geography, countries and cultures, religions, customs and America's tarnished reputation in those very countries.

Thank you for voting against the war and for continuing to voice that opposition.

Thank you for your brilliant campaign and campaign managers and your staff.

Thank you for choosing Joe Biden.

Thank you for leading and inspiring me.

You didn't do this alone. You knew it was going to take the three generations of black women in Ypsilanti, MIchigan as well as Jose, the Latino plumber in Miami, or Ron Howard putting on Opie's toupee or Wendy Riva, the mother and activist in Santa Monica, who grabbed me on the street and within hours had me hooked up to the Obama campaign. Me, this middle aged, privileged, white woman whose own mother was once such an ardent Democratic ( Kennedy ) supporter, that she was offered an ambassadorship in the Johnson administration. Me, who prior to this election did shit. Oh, I gave some money to Gore and Kerry and except for my husband's trip to Florida to canvas for Kerry, we just bitched and complained and did nothing.

3. And thank YOU, Jamie Lee Curtis. Your chihuahua movie CRUSHED that wingnut propaganda flick...

... that was released at the same time -- "An American Carol" (eww), starring ALL the Hollywood Republicans.

It bombed, because everybody went to see the chihuahua movie instead.
