This blogging thing is interesting. One thing is that you can’t predict what people will comment on. Much to my surprise, I’ve gotten reactions, from some very dear friends, that I would risk categorizing as “lefties”, to the little square that has the picture of Obama in it. Unfortunately, except for Chaco (soon may be a guest blogger here,) who did engage in a serious conversation with my alter ego, no one else tried to engage Cyborg Yoryie in a private or public conversation. Instead, it is usually a cynic, rather dismissive and/or condescending comment; something like, “you are now drinking the Obama Kool-Aid!” Of course, this comment or “joke”, does not pursue the idea of asking me why do I support Obama. In addition it does not take into consideration Cyborg’s extensive political background, as well as Cyborg’s academic history, which although it does not preclude the possibility that I may be drinking Kool-Aid, at least makes it suspect. As dear as these friends are to me, I can’t avoid thinking these dismissive jokes, come from far above me, from some place between the clouds where the truth, recluse and inaccessible to me, co-exists with them.

So…. I decided to compile “a la Letterman” my own list of reasons for which the Cyborg, MIGHT be supporting Obama, else than the ‘Kool-Aid theory.”

10. Cyborg is a Misogynist. PERIOD

9. Cyborg is not a misogynist but still hates Hillary.

8. Barack Obama is Black. PERIOD

7. Barack Obama is black and that in itself will create changes to the institution of the presidency regardless of who he is (and pray no one knows or forgot who Clarence Thomas is)

6. It is a strategy against Hillary, as soon as she loses the nomination Cyborg will take off the sign of support for Obama. ( See 10 & 9)

5. If Obama wins, Cyborg will have a “mucho” paying contract in his administration.

4. Cyborg is Obama’s long lost blood relative.

3. A god told me to do it (ok, that would be Kool-Aid)

2. Cyborg is a closet republican or a republican mole, trying to get the weakest candidate nominated.

1. Barack Obama looked sooooooooooooooo cute dancing with Ellen Degeneres! Yes, He Did!
