Because Obama is even himself getting tired of preaching his “time for change” platform, he is now going to change his mantra to “to serve man.”
Obama’s campaign advisors are telling him that more people will blindly follow him if he chooses a more tried and true slogan such as “to serve man.” The advisors were inspired by an old “Twilight Zone” episode with the same title.
That “Twilight Zone” episode has many similarities to Obama’s campaign. In the episode entitled “To Serve Man,” aliens land on the earth. People are a little wary of them at first, but then they seem to be very friendly.
This is somewhat reflected in the beginning of Obama’s campaign. At first he seemed to “come out of nowhere” and quickly began skyrocketing into politics, first with being elected as US Senator and then conquering the primaries. No one ever heard of this guy but all of the sudden, he was everywhere. People were a little wary about him at first (psst….he’s black) but were soon overcome by his charm.
The aliens tell the earthlings that their sole purpose in life is to “serve man.” They have a book about it. Some scientist figures out the title of the book and ascertains that it is, indeed, entitled “To Serve Man.”
Obama has told everyone it is time for a change. Change is good. It is about time for a change. Then he threw in a little Bush bashing and continued with the change mantra.
People are a little upset over the economy, the price of gas and the crash of the housing market. Everyone wants a change from this. They were eager to follow anyone who promises “change.”
Just like the people in the Twilight Zone episode were eager to follow anyone who promised “to serve man.”
Now some people are questioning the change that Obama proposes. Even though it is rare for a politician to say things that people want to hear to get elected, Obama is starting to get pinned down. He will stop advocating change and start vowing “to serve man.”
Unfortunately, his advisors turned off “The Twilight Zone” episode before the end. Before the scientist had time to figure out a little bit more about the book entitled “To Serve Man” that the aliens were touting as they led the eager earthlings onto their spaceships and to their alien paradise.
It was a cook book.
But hey, anything is better than Bush, right?
