January 14th, 2010 Speculation about self announced candidate R Otis increased today as curious citizens voiced confusion as to what Otis has in mind for the country. His introduction into a race that actually hasn't even started yet gave people reason to doubt his true intentions. Several citizens who have viewed his campaign material seem unconvinced that he is for real. Susan Taylor, an educator from St. Tammany Parish where Otis resides had this to say.
"It's hard to take someone seriously who, frankly, looks more like a wannabe rock star than a public servant. Maybe if he cleaned himself up and explained where he stands on issues."
John Hunter, a real estate agent and resident of Slidell in St. Tammany Parish shared Taylor's concern. " I knew Otis many years ago and he apparently hasn't changed much. He sports that look ...you know...I probably shouldn't say this but,... that hippie,Jesus freak look left over from the 60's. I remember that he used to hang out in those circles...the coffee shops where folk music was played and Jesus People hung out. He was always looking for answers...he was obsessed with that stuff. Heaven knows what he has in mind now. Becoming President?...Is that it? That'll be the day."
Times-Picayune reporters tracked Otis down today at his home in Covington but he had little to say. He shunned attempts to further clarify his stand on issues and would not consent to the taking of any photos. "I will appeal to the public in my own way and time. I have little use for the media as it is today. They themselves are a part of the problem." When asked about his chosen slogan of "The Quantum Candidate" he was again vague.
"What I am will eventually become obvious. I will only say this today...time heals time."
