Guilty for Obama

Housemates and I have had a very busy Summer and early Autumn. I'm working on state campaigns, because my work is a state PAC, not a federal PAC (so we can't work on Congressional or Presidential races). Housemate #2 also works for a civil rights group not working on Obama campaign. Housemate #3 is working on state campaigns as well. We have come down with "Obama Guilt." We are so busy and exhausted and campaigned-out at the end of the day (or late night as the case may be), we haven't done much for Obama beyond give our $20 when asked and dry off our yard signs and bumper stickers after rain.

I admit, o' fellow progressives, I am avoiding the phone calls of the local Obama people. I do not respond to the text messages. Housemate #2 just GChated me: "What are we going to say we did during the most historical election so far? Watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer for Obama?" We are thinking of making t-shirts, "Bean Burritos and Netflix DVDs for Obama" and "Guilty Busy Progressives for Obama: At Least We Vote" or "Eating Cheezie Poofs for Obama." Fear not, dear Friends For Change, we are assuaging our guilt by hosting an out-of-state Obama GOTV volunteer at our home for a few days before the election.
