Larry Elder Channels Barack Obama

In his latest article, talk-show host Larry Elder seems to have been able to capture the spirit of Barack Obama perfectly:

Larry ElderI ask you not to take a chance on me, but to take a chance on your own aspirations. And aspirations are nothing without inspiration. And with inspiration comes perspiration. So I ask you to aspire to perspire so that you may inspire. And with your inspiration, coupled with the aspirations of those who perspire, that perspiration will create further inspiration to which all of us can aspire. And those who inspire the most will perspire the most, only because their aspirations create the greatest inspirations. And it is a false choice to think you can have inspiration without perspiration.

So, if you can’t stand the heat in the kitchen, better get yourself out, unless you’re popping popcorn! Until you see the whites of their eyes, then, by god, don’t you fire! I have but one life to give to my country, but I sure do regret it! We have nothing to fear, but fear itself, especially when fear fears us back! Ask not what you can do for your country, but what your country can do for you! Sí, se puede! Pass the guacamole. Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders do not upset us. Boo-ya!

That about sums it up.
