Even electronic music artists have been given their two cents on the US presidency candidates, with producer Moby snapping off a humurous post on Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the rest on his blog.

Here’s what he thinks of Obama:

“barack obama. first off, he has the single worst name anyone could ever have in the history
of politics ever ever ever. barack(rhymes with iraq) hussein(like the guy who tried to kill
gw’s daddy) obama(one consonant away from bush family pal osama bin laden).
personally i see his terrible name as being kind of a plus, as it really couldn’t
be worse unless his name was satan hitler babyeater.

he’s the least experienced of the candidates but he’s also really smart and principled
and telegenic. he seems like he would be fun at a barbecue but he’d also be good
if you needed help doing your taxes and he’d definitely be nice to you if your goldfish
died.

ironically i think he’s the democrats best chance to win. ironic, as he’s:
a-inexperienced
b-1/2 muslim
c-possessed of the worst name in the history of politics

but gw was a coke addict with 2 dui’s and a history of running companies
into the ground(not to mention a last name that is colorfully and colloquially used to describe
ladies baby making parts). so who knows? barack obama seems like the dem’s best choice.
plus it would be awesome to have an african-american president. the rest of the world
wouldn’t be able to hate us as much, which would be nice.”
