Obama hearts Bowie?


"...Barack Obama will face no such criticism for choosing to play David Bowie's "Let's
Dance" immediately before his historic speech in front of some 200,000 Berliners in
June." - news agencies

Yeah, this is cool, cooler than what the competition will muster (Chuck Norris singing "Ballad of the Green Berets" or the like) but what signs about a possible Obama era can be gleaned from the video? You remember. Will aboriginal dudes be made to pull esoteric electron-microscope-looking equipment down city streets? Will public houses feature white-gloved peroxide dandies pretending to play Stevie Ray Vaughn licks? And those mushroom clouds? Ominous!

So, maybe "Golden Years" would be more apropos. Or maybe "Heroes." Or, given the possibilities for new budget priorities/recent atmospheric findings, maybe a campaign based on this title postulate is on order:
