The Enemy gives in: Endorses Obama

The Enemy (You! Don't! Know! Me!) has had a change of heart. He has decided to back Barack Obama.

An excerpt:

It all began the other night over dinner with friends (yes, The Enemy has friends.)

It was a potent mix of sentimentality and passion that could —— and did —— sweep folks up from their little lives and relocate them in the epic drama of "This Great Nation", where each became a participant in something historical and grand.
