No doubt about it. Barack Obama is one unique presidential candidate. In Paris, American expatriate moms have banded together to create the “Momas for Obama” movement, as seen on CNN.

Of course, fathers and sons and daughters are united for Obama as well. The forces of nature appear to be supporting Chicago’s favorite son. The next time you listen to the wind, hear it howl : Obama! Obama! Obama!

So, it should come as little surprise that animals,too, are coming together as never before in support of the candidate of change.

Dogs from Maine and cats from Michigan are joining forces with goldfish from New Jersey and parakeets from Montana all lending their barks, meows, chirps and slurps to the Obama movement.

Mutts for Obama

Obama, whose mother was white and father was black, seems to have a special appeal to mutts who never before have felt they could have a voice in the human world fighting on their behalf.

As far as anyone can tell, Obama is the first presidential candidate in American history to enjoy the broad support of the animal kingdom. True, horses did favor Ronald Reagan, but that was nothing like the remarkable animal movement supporting the candidate of hope.

Stop and ask a neighborhood dog why it wants Obama to win in November, and the dog will tell you it is because Obama is the candidate of change. Well, okay, the dog may not actually tell you this, but, trust me, it is totally thinking it.

Can Obama Turn Things Around For Animals

Some animals, of course, are concerned that Obama, if elected, will let them down and not deliver on his promises. These same animals have suffered political disappointment before, after all. Decades after the civil rights movement in this country, the number of dogs enrolled in medical schools remains zero; no cats head any Fortune 500 company; and, in Washington, animals still have little in terms of a lobbying clout.

But Obama, the prince of peace, may actually bring about change here if elected. With Obama in the White House, someday soon, a schnauzer may someday be your internist; a Siamese cat your banker; or, a snake your lawyer (well, this may already have been accomplished?)

Animals seem to have an instinctual affinity towards the “yes we can” candidate. It is not uncommon when Obama visits a town to see dogs and cats by the thousands come to greet him. For them, he is already top dog (or top cat?).

Obama is so popular with animals, in fact, there is some speculation among his inner circle that he may select a dolphin or a pig as his running mate. If not, then he may go with Hillary Clinton. Talk about a historic election!

Obama has made it this far because he has mastered the art of appearing to be all things to all people–and animals. Dogs think Obama is a cool cat. Cats think Obama is better than raw fish. And, birds think Obama is about to really take flight now that he has vanquished Clinton.

Animals of the world, unite! Unite behind the only candidate of true change; the only candidate who offers hope; the only candidate whose name is Barack Omaba.
