Political polls do not hold any bearing
Samuel L. Jackson was featured in a recent political satire, sponsored by the Jewish Council of Education Research, a super pac supporting Obama.
The spoof mocked Jackson's children's book parody, "Go the F*** to Sleep."
Used as an agent of persuasion Jackson's recently released video pushes Americans to "Wake the F*** Up" and vote Obama into a second term.
The video begins with a white elementary school aged girl named Susie, "It matters more this time but their eyes are shut."
Susie begins the short story explaining how her family supported Obama in 2008 yet for the 2012 election has become somewhat lackadaisical. As Susie visits her family, urging each to step up for their president, they send her to bed just as Jackson appears.
"Sorry my friend, but there is no time to snore, an out of touch millionaire has just declared war. On school, the environment, union, fair pay, we are all on our own if Romney has his way...so I strongly suggest you wake the f*** up!"
Jackson continues, explaining Romney's political stance, or lack their of, on issues like gay rights, education, student debt, Medicare, and poverty while planting a few rhythmically placed f-bombs to add humor, yet urgency to support Obama for another term.
The video has gone viral, inspiring many political commentaries and even MTV to stop and take notice.
Regardless of the video's crudeness or lack of lust, the video gives way to what Republican strategist Dick Morris mentioned as "a distinct lack of enthusiasm for the president among his core constituency."
Of course much of the anticipated weight of the election and Obama's perceived lead is based on polls. A surveyed notion of what pollsters believe the American people will do, but the reality is that polls are irrelevant if their predictions do not come to fruition.
Pollsters have predicted that the historic turnout seen in the 2008 election will show itself again in the 2012 election nearly two fold. This means the historic numbers of young and minority votes in 2008 will show again in 2012 bringing along a few more to assure Obama's second term.
Yet again, predictions show no true value in saying who will or will not win this next presidential term, and honestly it would be quite irrational of either candidate to judge the remaining month of the campaign trail on those predictions.
It would almost be as if you decided to use your zodiac predictions to decide your day, week, or month... "O girl, I am about to find me a real fine man with 'buku' money because my horoscope had said the stars were aligning with Venus right after the full moon."...Foolish, right?!
Thus it is nearly as idiotic for either Romney or Obama to back down at such a pivotal point in the 2012 campaign to the Oval Office because of the recent scope of political polls.
No poll can decide the next president, but your vote Nov. 6 can.
The decision to elect is yours, use your vote and be a voice. Follow the campaign...
