Democratic presidential hopeful, Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.), took his campaign east over the weekend. The three major television networks (ABC, CBS and NBC) accompanied him to “document this historic occasion.”
Obama characterized the move as a bid “to reach out to all of the 57 states and bring them the same message of hope and redemption that I have shared with the three dozen or so states within the continental United States.”
“This is definitely thinking ‘outside-the-box,’” gushed ABC News anchor Charles Gibson. “Lesser men may be content to be president of America. Senator Obama has a real chance to become king of the world.”
NBC anchor Brian Williams was similarly effusive. “We are on the brink of a new era for all mankind,” Williams said. “This is the earliest that a president-elect has ever started. It’s obvious that an Obama administration will ‘hit the ground running.’ I am so very fortunate to be allowed to document this historic occasion.”
“He called me ‘sweetie,’” CBS News anchor Katie Couric giddily boasted. “I get goose bumps remembering the moment it happened. I felt like I was Mary Magdelin.”
Polls in several European states show Obama has a substantial lead over presidential rival Senator John McCain (R-Ariz). Seventy percent of Italians, 67 percent of Germans, and 65 percent of the French say they will vote for Obama.
In related news, Obama predicted that his pledge to free the world of nuclear weapons would break the impasse with Iran over its uranium enrichment program. “Once Iran sees that America is giving up its nuclear weapons they will have no need to develop their own,” Obama contended. “Then we can sit down and discuss their other grievances without these weapons of mass destruction casting a pall over the negotiations.”
