Did Barack Obama just admit to being a shapeshifter?

Ah damn. This is the worst news since my dog died.

I think a lot of us involved in campus media were definately pulling for ya. If for no other reason than the fact a Senator CJ Ciaramella would have generated the best ASUO column inches since Nate Gulley and his ASUO adventures.

I think the greatest ASUO irony is that if they didn’t take themselves so seriously, they probably wouldn’t be so much of a joke. It’s like they’re simultaneously less professional and more self-important than any real government I’ve ever dealt with.

Anyway, if you decide to run in the actual election, you can count on my vote!

CJ,

Thank you for taking inspiration with my words. I strongly encourage you to seek the position of senator again. You can accomplish the change you want no matter what form you have to take to make it happen.

Obama

Congrats CJ! Keep sticking it to the humorless bastards. You prominent conservative, you!

Well played, sir. Also:

Sens. Weintraub and Cassie Gray said Ciaramella’s use of Obama’s speech offended them.

It’s somehow reassuring to find that ASUO is just as humorless as it ever was.

Excellent work, CJ, it’s nice to see the OC’s tradition of mocking the ASUO find a home in the senate. Not since The Tamir has senate been so resolutely and thoroughly put in its place.

CJ was only following Joe Biden’s example.

First: Mike Hunt = Classy

Second: As a J-school alum I can’t think of anyone better to represent us besides C.J. Unless Ryan Knutson is still around.

CJ, I can honestly say that I wish you’d been appointed when I was the ASUO reporter. I would have loved to write that story.

The Commentator candidates were always fun. Ted is the reason that some of the ODE spell check dictionaries recognize the word douchebag.
