Obama's Eleven

This week while browsing my favorite website i found clips of the south park episode on the election. The video began with Obama being elected president and in one house in the neighborhood you had all the Obama supporters who were going crazy and partying and yelling stuff like "yes we can." In the house across the street you had all the McCain supporters saying things like, "it's the end of the world" and one father says to his son "if i don't see you tomorrow i love you." South Park was deffinatly able to show what the two different sides of politics were feeling after the election. One of the main characters little brothers was crying when asked why the older brother said because he's a McCain supporter. Later in the show that same little brother tried jumping out from a window...luckily it was only 5 feet off the ground. Again it was using humor to address the way some people may have felt after Obama won his presidency. Of course on the show they had to have a silly factor and for that they showed Obama and McCain behind the scenes after the election and the show hinted towards the fact that they were working together the entire time in hopes that one or the other would deffinatly win the presidency. This would then lead to McCain and Obama stealing the hope diamond in the smithsonian museam. I thought this part was funny because it seemed like the entire election we had to pick either Obama the first african american president or McCain/Palin the first women vice president but on the show their motive was to just steal the hope diamond. Thats as far as the clips to it so this is where i stop.
