Memeage.

This is virally spread from reb2, whose icon selections I explain below the cut. I may not have done this were it not for the phrase "never-ending cycle of icon squee".

The LJ Icon meme rules:
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Woo.

Dear Barak Obama:

I have written the text of your next speech. It is a very brief speech. It is actually just a throwaway comment to the rapacious press next time you're en route from point A to point B and they get in your face. Here it is:

"I do have a response to Senators Clinton and McCain. Fuck them. Fuck them for not having the guts to run a campaign on their own merits but rather feeling the need to take public issue with every true statement I make about the state of this country. Fuck them for pretending they're essentially the same as poor people, only with money. Fuck them for pretending our society is perfect and above reproach; or if we're not, we're one viewing of 'It's a Wonderful Life' away from perfect. Fuck them and be done with them." [Here you might want to pause and spit ritualistically on the ground, then continue:] "I intend to carry out my own campaign and to have nothing from here on out to say about Senators Clinton and McCain. I will tell you what I think, not what I think Senators Clinton and McCain think, and certainly not what I think about what they think about what I think. And if you ask me any more about them, fuck you, too."

I think this will ensure your capture of the White House. I truly do.
