Obama's Daughter Follows Chelsea Clinton's Lead

by GROVERAT:

Jason Rae, a 21-year-old superdelegate and college student, followed up his well-publicized breakfast with Chelsea Clinton by joining the daughter of Barack Obama for breakfast yesterday at a local McDonald's playpark. Rae was enthusiastic about his visit with both of the famous daughters.

"It was great," Rae said, "she taught me how to make snowflakes out of folded paper."

Natasha, a 7-year-old who can spell the names of everyone in her family, was upbeat after the meeting, hoping that her influence might help keep Rae undecided after being charmed by Chelsea.

"I like his shoes," Natasha Obama said, "they were brown."

Pundits across the nation are wondering whether or not the influence of the "superdelegates" will be something that factors heavily into the race, with many expressing concern that such an outcome might fracture the Democratic party before the election even begins.

"This is really the best shot the Democrats have had at the White House in 20 years," analyst Wes Welker said, "they would be idiots to throw it away on superdelegates being wooed by presidential daughters."

When asked whether or not she might be able to get Rae to pledge support to her father, Natasha was evasive.

"The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round. The wheels on the bus go round and round, all through the toooooown.", the enigmatic 7-year-old said, before jumping up and running to hide behind the couch.
