Obama election documentary takes me back to the glory days - of the Boondocks
I'm way behind our President, and it really was a beautiful thing that he was elected. Out of the two candidates, he was the infinitely better choice, and what a wonderful moment in history! The fact that he's kinda sitting out the fight while our country erupts into Civil War because he can't magically fix things overnight, I'm not nuts about. Ya gotta fight to win, Obeezy!
That said, it really was a beautiful, if sadly short-lived, moment of hope and unity. It's telling, however, that I'm more nostalgic these days for the brilliant, but apparently canceled, Boondocks. Canceled may not be the word I'm looking for here. My understanding is that Cartoon Network/Adult Swim wants it back, but for reasons unknown Aaron McGruder isn't interested. Such a shame. The season three opener, you may recall, featured a documentary much like the one featured above, including this gem of a tribute to Barack from Wll.i.am and Thugnificent:
What you most likely didn't see, was the president's response to the clip, posted at Boondocks Bootleg:
Still, I'm looking forward to 11-4-08; and, of course, to the release of the Boondocks season three DVD set. Which, last I heard, was set for release in - sigh - November.
