COLORADO SPRINGS, CO. PATRICK KILCHERMANN, ASSOCIATED PRESS (14:00MST, 8/12/08): Barrack Obama campaign officer Mr. David Hathaway finally succumbed to malnutrition today, after trying to bring to the forefront of the public's eye, one of the biggest issues of Senator Obama's campaign: Hunger.
"It just doesn't seem fair to me, that if a person in America doesn't feel like getting up to fix something to eat, she or he isn't spoon fed by the government," Mr. Hathaway was quoted as saying.
"When I realized that nobody was outraged by this other than me, It occurred to me that the public at large probably doesn't even KNOW this. And that is why I am doing this- I want everyone to see the kind of country you live in. I want to show America the kind of government the U.N. gave us."
Mr. Hathaway refused pleas from his family and friends to seek medical attention, even as he grew too weak to get up from the couch that he sat upon. All except his fellow Obama campaign officers- people like Jessica Rousch.
Prior to Hathaway's death, Ms. Rousch told us, "Um, I think it's awesome what he's doing. I don't 'member how old I was when I found out that not ev'ryone has their meals fed to them. But I think it was when I moved out of my parents house when I was 35 or 40. I mean, what's the point of even having a government if they aren't going to feed you?"
Hathaway's death is seen by his loved ones as an unnecessary tragedy in the war on hunger. David was 24 years old, and was a recent graduate from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a bachelor's degree in Fecal Arts.
Thanks for participating everyone and be sure to start spreading the good word about The Good Word and be prepared for an AMAZING prize for the next contest, which will begin the day after our first 100-visit day.
P.S. Jose is in town and tomorrow he and I will be double-dipping, be prepared...
