The last few days for Illinois Senator, and presidential hopeful, Barack Obama have been overwhelmingly positive. He just recently won three states to pass Hillary Clinton in delegate count in the Democratic nominee race primaries. He had a higher winning percentage than Kanye West at the Grammy Awards where he beat former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter as well as Maya Angelou and M*A*S*H star actor Alan Alda for Obama’s second Grammy award. He won his first in 2005 in the spoken word category for his reading of his own book “Dreams Of My Father” and the recent award is for another book of his, “The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream” in the same spoken word category.  The tribute song and music video by will.i.am and 40+ celebrities for his “Yes We Can” speech is getting millions of hits (including being a favorite here at SoupyTrumpet.com).  It has also inspired numerous “Yes We Can” parody videos including “I Like Turtles” and “No You Can’t” (a John McCain slam) as well as many others .

As if all of this is not enough, Obama has had at least one more honor bestowed him.  In his father’s homeland of Kenya, there is a beer called Senator Keg Lager that has been consumed at an alarming rate in celebration of Obama’s recent victories.  During all of this alcohol consumption, “having a Senator” has been informally renamed to “having an Obama“.  Now Barack Obama joins Samuel L. Jackson as men that sort of have beers named after them.

Now you can say “I’ll have a Sam Jackson” OR “I’ll have an Obama“.
