Because Kishimoto has done the exact same thing with his storyline that is going on in US politics.
US politics: Obama is too awesome to lose.... but what if he does? We know how stupid the average U.S. citizen is! Oh my fucking god what will I do if McCain and Palin are in office? I'm going to need to stockpile contraceptives! And Lady Chatterly's Lover! Do you not realize, redbrunja, that you're betting on the intelligence of people who watch Fox News? Do you realize how many people watch Fox News? Oh, god, country, why are you so traumatizing?
Naruto: See your favorite character? And that ax above his head? Sure, every sign points to it NOT falling... but what if it does? We know how stupid Kishimoto is on average. Do you not realize you're betting on Kishimoto's storytelling skills? Oh, god, this is supposed to be the happy place I go to avoid reality! Oh, god, Naruto, why are you so traumatizing?
WAY TO FUCKING DOUBLE TEAM ME, REAL LIFE AND FANDOM LIFE! I AM SO PISSED OFF! IF I LOSE FAITH IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS AND LOSE MY CURRENT OTP IN THE SAME WEEK I'M GOING TO......! .........! ........! I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE WORDS!
IS THERE NO GOD! PLEASE LET THERE BE A GOD!
*wails*
(Just to state this, if I had to pick between Obama and Kakashi, I'd pick Obama. But it would hurt. And then switch the gender of my car and name it "Kakashi" instead of "Tremaine", which is what I'm currently leaning towards.
But I have to say, if this is the second OTP that gets destroyed in the last four months.... the universe hates me. That's all there is to it.)
