Barack Obama clinched the Democratic Party’s nomination last night, which was sort of exciting. I guess. Though, for me, yesterday’s most newsworthy political story was this: George Lucas endorses Barack Obama. Do you know that means? Nothing. But, I bet so many Ron Paul supporters are feeling conflicted right now.

While in Japan promoting his new movie Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull that Belongs to an Alien, Yeah, That’s Right, This Movie is About Aliens, Don’t Worry, It’s Okay Because the Aliens Aren’t From Outer Space, But Rather the Space Between Spaces, Lucas told reporters:

“We have a hero in the making back in the United States today because we have a new candidate for president of the United States, Barack Obama…[Obama], for all of us that have dreams and hope, is a hero.”

He then added, “But get this…he HATES snakes!”

I hope the Obama campaign considers hiring George Lucas as an adviser. His genius would work well inside the realm of public service.
