Scare tactics

Obama to McCain: “You’re trying to scare voters”
Frank to Obama: “Umm, hello?”

It has recently come to light in an article in CNN that Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama is accusing Republican challenger John McCain of “scaring voters” into not going with Obama in November. Apparently Mr. Obama needs to check his ego and has forgotten that a giant monster is also running for President.

In the article, Obama was quoted as saying:

...John McCain, all he wants to do is talk about me. They know they can't win on the issues. So what they'll do is they'll try to scare people. 'He's risky. He's risky. We're not sure...

Really, Obama? You want to have a scare-off? Put me in the room next to you and we’ll just see who is scarier! The entire issue really grinds my gears (literally) and I challenge either Mr. Obama or Mr. McCain to produce anyone scarier than myself to the American public. Now that Hillary is out of the race, I’m definitely the front-runner for scariest candidate.

I take it as a personal affront to not only my candidacy, but also to my very existence that McCain would try and scare voters without my blessing. Just because we’re the same age doesn’t give you the right to steal my platform.

And to Mr. Obama, shame on you sir for not recognizing my candidacy and inherent right to scariness. I imagine the first time we meet in person you’ll have to “change” a certain item of clothing you’ll be so scared. I welcome the opportunity and do not hide from it. I can’t. I’m massive.

So from now on, please stick to the issues… your own issues. I’ll handle the scary.
