I like coffee, good coffee is good and American coffee isn't. I lived in America for a while and while I love just about everything about America, especially In 'n' Out Burger, I don't love their coffee. Anyway, today I walked into Campos Coffee in Newtown to buy some beans. Now, in case you don't already know, Campos has a variety of beans to choose from, all roasted to perfection on site with every conceivable detail concerning their roasting profile recorded (even the temperature and barometric something). They're serious about coffee. Anyhoo, today they had a new blend: The Obama Blend here's the description: (seriously) 
"Great depth of character, strong and eloquent. This very appealing blend unites coffees from Africa and the Americas to produce a cup which has gotten us excited. Formidable middle palate flavours, syrupy with an uplifting finish. Excellent choice for going forward and ideal for those interested in change."
Sorry, but I'm totally stumped, I have not one smart-alec thing to say about this, nothing. I'm lost for words.
I bought some and it didn't live up to its publicity.

Is contradicted by your following paragraph:

It's a dry smart-aleccy, and may be in the ear of the beholder, but I believe it to be there.
Unbelievable... but I have to admit, I'd like to try that at least once, even though you said it wasn't that great.
Naming cotton candy after Obama would be more appropriate.
Gordo, your analysis is 100% correct.
van helsing you rock.
Timothy, try the organic blend or bourbon street blend, they're better.
I'm still getting over the shock that you may have been stumped about nothing to say ... it's a cold dark day, a cold, cold dark day ;p
I need to find a good blend of coffee to drink. You are right, American coffee is not that good.
Well now, I can't wait to get down to Campos after all these years...
Hey Matt - have you gotta Jenny and Ian's email address? I am at
michael dot jensen dot moore dot edu dot au
love to reconnect with them..
Campos is overrated...
Actually, it is. I've been drinking dirt for about three weeks now with no problems at all.
Except for the gastro.
