Post-Election LOL-a-thon

All those voters out there who gave Obama such a electoral victory that he got twice as much votes as McCain didn't need my help to do it, no siree. Judging by a couple conversations I overheard while on the bus, there were enough voters who supported him just to have a black man as President with not much of an idea of what he's done. A week later after the election and I haven't heard anyone bring up details on Barack's past...or Michelle's for that matter. It wouldn't be so freakishly amusing in the latter case except I've heard so much more about Michelle Obama supposedly being a fashion savant or something to that effect. So, just what do I see when I finally hunt down a story about this famous red and black dress from election night?



It's a bland if not ugly dress, and here I am wondering if maybe my sense of fashion is more fucked up than I think it is, since I am a straight guy and it's not a straight guy's job to be into what constitutes the latest in style. Maybe I'm biased since the only other fashionably dressed member of royalty I have for quick reference in the back of my head is Princess Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear...


with a dress so pretty...


I don't care that this scene was added to the anime and not in the original game...because I didn't get to see it that much when I played.


Whatever the reason, it could simply be yet another Obama-related pop-culture meme, like the Joebama fanfic, the bastardization of "What 'bout my star?" into "Obama star", and other things I'm sure I have yet to see. Thankfully, I've not spotted any Obama-themed "Motteke! Serafuku!" or "Hare Hare Yukai" dances yet, so I have that much more sanity to hang on to...
