Obama The Musical

Yes, it's true folks. Now in addition to the numerous Obama bumper stickers, Obama t-shirts, the smiling face of Obama on the backs of Kenya's matatus (East Africa's answer to lack of public transportation and a scary, scary adventure), and the already popular Obama reggae song on the radio, Nairobi is now adding Obama: The Musical to the list of items.

I will pay you cash money for lyrics to this show. I desperately want this to be insanely awesome, and possibly take place on roller-skates like so many classic musicals that have gone before.

Any word yet on who is going to play the last shreds of John McCain's reputation and decency as his campaign incites violent racist rhetoric in a desperate attempt to salvage its standings in the polls? Because I think that would be appropriately light hearted for musical treatment. What do Kenyans think about how Americans have shown this week that virulent, open racism is alive, kicking, and shouting "Terrorist!" at rallies?

This is awesome.

The hubbie and I have been wondering where we should move should Obama lose the election. Maybe Kenya should make the short list.
