John Mayer blogged about Barack Obama on Huffingtopost.com yesterday. Of course, this is barely a shock. We all know about John Mayer’s love affair with blogging. It almost broke up his last relationship for Goddsakes.

In the essay he talks about being a young adult in a post 9-11 world and how Barack Obama represents a kind of “tangible” hope that hasn’t been seen by his generation. The post actually isn’t half bad. John can string a sentence together, and I admire this sort of activism more than I do the flashy, tacky antics of bobbleheads like Paris Hilton and Speidi. Excerpt below:

What Barack Obama says to me is these days are good for something. Just when I’d thought my only role as an adult was to help shoulder the nation through its darkest days (known to us as “the rest of them”), Obama gives me the feeling that I could be alive to witness one of the most brilliant upturns in a country’s history. Imagine that — a young adult in this day and age being given something to someday brag to his children about having being alive to witness. What a concept.
