Did you see these Hot Trends?

“Assassinate Obama” was the #19 Google Trend at the time of this blog. It had peaked an hour earlier, but I don’t know what spot that meant it got up to. Not a happy thing.

Will the stories this trend points to effect Obama’s polling going forward? Does this have anything to do with texting my brother last night to say Obama might be the anti-christ? Does this mean, as Dave Chappelle’s joke goes, he’ll need to pick a Mexican vice president?

Edit: OK, I’ve been asked to explain my anti-christ comment by a friend…so….

1. Virtually came out of no where
2. Ascended from one term (I think) as State Senator to less than a term as US Senator to likely President of the most powerful nation in the world (no, not China…the US)
3. Enraptures people with his speeches that are all feel good and no substance (or, at best, somewhat shifting stances)
4. Renounced Islam (admittedly a personal reason here)
5. Insulated from some constructive criticism by cries of racism (look at what happened to Biden when he said Obama speaks so well)
6. Most importantly: he’s related to Dick Cheney

So…there you go…the 6 reasons why he MIGHT be the anti-christ. Still…if he wins…I hope he at least has Edwards as a VP. :)
