Barack Obama Gazes into Tyra Banks' Crystal Ball
Presidential hopeful Barack Obama taped an appearance on The Tyra Banks Show on Thursday.
Tyra offered him a crystal ball, which she suggested he give to his wife Michelle for their 15th wedding anniversary.
When she asked him what she saw in it, Obama said, "I see the White House right there."
Tyra has said she hasn't thought about whom she might endorse: "If you look at a lot of people in the field we're in, they're constantly endorsing everything - from a new purse to a new hotel. This is just another thing [to endorse]. I love Oprah using her power, because she has the influence to change what she feels is necessary. [But] Oprah has been endorsing a lot of things. I can't say I'll publicly be endorsing a candidate, but it's something I'm thinking about."
Of course the endorsement announcement would go something like this:
"I see eight beautiful candidates standing before me..."
Barak, you're a pretty man, but is pretty enough? The judges recognize that you're green and they wonder if you can learn fast enough to overcome your lack of experience. This business can be tough. Is the pretty man tough enough?
And Hillary, the judges see great improvement in you. You started out as a mousy feminist with unfortunate hair and glasses. You have become a stylish Senator with cleavage who has all the right answers. But the judges want to know if you can keep moving forward, or have you gone as far as you can go.
So how goes home? The pretty man with a lot to learn, or the most improved Senator who may have gone as far as she can go?

wow Sam, that was good!
I think I may have to share that with some friends =)
I appreciate that Tyra is questioning endorsing someone. I am still kinda irked at the whole Oprah thing.

That's funny, I see the cancellation of the Tyra Banks Show.

An ingenious post- followed by crackly comments. It's why we feed at the 'font' that is Towleroad.
And I'm so posting this and sending the page to friends.

Actually, it should be "who goes home" not "how goes home." I'm a touch dyslexic, like Tom Cruise. Thanks for all the compliments, guys.

Sam, that was hilarious. But I wanted to point out that the sentence "Tyra has said she hasn't thought about whom she might endorse" is something I NEVER thought I would read during my whole lifetime. Ever.

Ok, well I know I can't in good conscience vote for a canidate that wastes their time on Tyra's talk show...maybe if he'd gone on a "very special episode of top model" but Tyra's talk show... that's well below the bottom of the barrel.
Clinton 08!
