Is This A Good Or Bad Thing?
I just read something very interesting. President-elect Barack Obama is currently reading the Twilight series with his daughter.
While there are many good things that could come out of this, such as:
New National Holidays
Excellent choices for cabinet positions:
And most importantly, using his power for good causes, such as getting Stephenie Meyers to publish Midnight Sun sooner rather than later:
However, I’m a little worried about the repercussions of our next president becoming a Twilight fan. While he may have had great ideas and plans to change the country for the better, I think that he might become a bit distracted by the addictive nature of the series.
Here are a few of the circumstances that I imagine might happen:
Trying to perfect that “Cullen” look:
And the worst-case scenarios:
Too devastated to go on with running the country while reading New Moon:
Obama refuses to sleep until he finishes Breaking Dawn:
So, I’m still on the fence. What do you think?
Is Obama reading Twilight a good or bad for the country? Can you think of any other scenarios that might arise if he becomes Twilight obsessed?

Well at least we know he has excellent taste in literature.
But I can see your reasons for concern. I know I had a hard time concentrating on the real world while sucking myself into those books!

at least he’s reading it now, before he’s sworn into office.

Too funny! I should have my butt reading (Breaking Dawn) but alas, I sit and blog.

now THAT is frickin’ HILARIOUS!!!!
[Reply]
How do you do it? You are so damn funny!
I havent gotten to New Moon yet. What do you mean Edward is gone??!! I’m all in a tizzy now! Must go read.

CUTE! I think it’s fabulous that he reads with his girls, although he might be a little more apt to follow the life of Rosalie…

Whether you voted for him or not, how can reading Twilight ever be a bad thing??!

OH MY GOSH! HILARIOUS!!!!
[Reply]
You are so funny!!!
While I LOVE the Twilight series, and can not fault Obama for reading them…I have to wonder if they are appropriate for his daughters – aren’t his daughter 7 and 10? While the series is about vampires, it is ultimately about true love. I kind of think that a 10 year old is a little young to get it.

You have outdone yourself! This is great.
[Reply]
Jen, you know me and my vampire thing.
HOWEVER….
You writing this MAY have just inspired me to read it.
This was HILARIOUS!!!
[Reply]
That was hilarious! I love the one about him being too depressed to govern while reading New Moon. Priceless.
[Reply]
If only he would call her up Midnight Sun. I wish.
Hilarious. LOVE IT!
[Reply]
OMG I laughed SO hard! I completely understand as I was hardly able to function until I finished Breaking Dawn. I was going through withdrawls for a while, but the anticipation of the movie is keeping me going.
[Reply]
That was the best post ever! I wish I had thought of it!
[Reply]
OMG I’m laughing far too hard to leave a witty comment or anything even resembling one.
[Reply]
That was hilarious!
[Reply]

[Reply]
So Funneh! I am reading the last one now and can’t wait for the movie.
[Reply]
I can’t question his taste in books since it’s for his daughters. I still like him.
[Reply]

[Reply]
TWO gold stars for you today!
[Reply]
Great pictures! I guess I should read this series if the president elect is.
[Reply]
I hope he gets through the series before he takes office, because I sure couldn’t focus on anything but my own despair during New Moon!
[Reply]
This is hilarious!
[Reply]
Oh, this is so great. It’s already been a great Saturday, but this totally pushes it over the edge. I personally love the second to last one. Ha ha ha ha. Oh, you.

I think it is great when any parent gets involved in the books they are reading. There have been a few moms (and probably dads) who have become bigger fans than their kids.
