My interview with Obama
Posted on March 20th, 2011 by Jay Baldwin
Me: First of all, I’d like to thank you for taking the time to speak with me. I know you’re busy.
Obama: No problem.
Me: I really only have one question, though.
Obama: Great. Shoot.
Me: Could you identify any substantive differences between your policies on Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo, stimulus spending, immigration, the War on Drugs, the War on Terror, the War on Poverty, presidential power, or military interventionism and those policies of George Bush?
Obama: Nope.
Me: Me either. Thanks for clearing that up.
Mr. Baldwin is a doctoral candidate of comparative literature and cultural studies at the University of Arkansas. He is a self-described free-market anti-capitalist harboring anarchist utopian fantasies. The best that can be said of him is that, presumably, his mother loves him.

I’d rather have a beer with Bush. He wouldn’t water it down.
