Al Gore’s elitist endorsement of Barack Obama last night was huge. If there is one area that Obama needs to solidify, it’s the latte sipping, Prius driving, gay marriage parade, save the whales foundation, vegan hippie elitists. Al Gore gives Barack Obama this much needed boost.

And was there a more fitting place than Detroit, Michigan to unveil this century’s most prominent elitist? For decades, Detroit has experienced what some may call a “cultural renaissance.” Former auto factories where people once toiled have been closed down to become museums, reminders of a harsh working class past.

With the auto industry a thing of history, residents of Michigan are left with a lot of free time to enjoy their temperate climate, sitting on patios, enjoying the sun, sipping on lattes. This is the group Obama has so desperately courted and the reason he appeared with Sir. Al Gore in Detroit.

So Obama is in great shape now as he has long since locked up white working class voters who are bitter about guns and butter, or something. Also, man hating feminists-this group has a lot to say about Obama, check the Googles.

Hey, remember that fiasco that happened back in 2000, when we elected Al Gore as president but got George “pretend cowboy” Bush instead. Well, now you can relive that moment on May 25th with the HBO film Recount starring Kevin Spacey, Dennis Leary, Laura Dern and Tom Wilkinson. What a great cast! I can’t wait to see how they’ve portrayed my home state at the moment we fucked up the world.

I don’t just blame other Floridians either as I had a stake in the mistake too. In 2000, as a protest vote I decided to vote for Ralph Nader (obviously having no clue it would be so close), then I watched the election coverage and rooted for Al Gore. My best friend still likes to remind me how I helped fuck everything up. Thanks Brian!
