What says me » Obama http://www.bj0rn.com The sanguine soapbox of Bjorn Borstelmann Fri, 10 Dec 2010 04:10:57 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 I made Obama say cupcakes are good for your health! http://www.bj0rn.com/2009/07/obama-says-cupcakes-are-good-for-your-health/ http://www.bj0rn.com/2009/07/obama-says-cupcakes-are-good-for-your-health/#comments Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:00:01 +0000 Bjorn Borstelmann http://www.bj0rn.com/?p=144 So… President Obama had a town hall meeting in Raleigh, North Carolina today. He was welcomed by a local cupcake bakery owner, and he bemoaned the fact that she hadn’t brought him cupcakes… then he recited the logline from a fake news video I made last February at Miami Ad School Minneapolis and sent to the White House; “I think cupcakes are good for your health!” Here’s a video of him saying it in his speech today:

And here’s the video I made and sent to the White House last February, 5 months back:

I’m totally tickled he actually likes cupcakes as much as I made him say he does! The idea seemed to go over well with the crowd at the town hall, and with Twitter… although now there’s a “have your cupcake and eat it too” controversy… but that was foreseen…

Sadly, I don’t think I’m going to get any credit for this one; my video is probably too lame for prime time… but I wonder if I can get a job writing things like this for the president all the time…

Obama: I graduate soon – call me. You probably know my number.
