Obama and McCain…more in common than we think?
The one common theme – BIG dreamin’! An art form ya’ dig…pure as rain falling from Peruvian skies. Really now, has there ever been two more unexpected candidates for president?
McCain looks old as that Biblical dude Methuselah & and with his misremembering, acts just as old too. Lil’ John’s so old he could be Elmer Fudd’s illegitimate older half 
brother. Let’s be real – A POW from ‘Nam means U R OLD. But give him props – he hasn’t let ANYONE tell him he’s too old to be called “Mr. President“.
Obama…definitely throwin’ big ones on the table! If you are a Black guy lookin’ to be called “Mr. President“, shouldn’t your name be something unabashedly Black and easy off the lips like “Lincoln Washington”?
Then “Oback” (it’s just easier for me to combine the names – try it – rolls nicely off the tongue!) spent his formative years in Hawaii for gosh sakes! Is that really considered part of the U.S. (still not as bad as hailing from ALASKA)?
Good thing he plays basketball! That’s American!
"Yup he's Black for sure Marg'ret!"
Yet, in spite of the election posturing & satirical humor and, no matter your political leanings, these guys are schooling us.
The lesson – age is no excuse for not pursuing a dream & color can not be the hurdle that stops one from coming out of the blocks determined to not only run, but WIN the race. 
Don’t ever quit, don’t ever give up…fight with me and be the change u are seeking (ha, ha)! As for the election…
“Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.” – Langston Hughes
So with all this in mind…I keep drawing my Black Folk Art, keeping dreams of broader horizons alive, living my dream…
