A wrap-up of Week One A.O. (After Obama):Yet another Obama-Lincoln comparison. I need to vomit. This part I find especially rich:
"To reach out to his critics, Lincoln even allowed a reporter from an opposition newspaper, a journalist named Henry Villard, to virtually move into his office in Springfield, Mo., to chronicle the transition."Yes, I'm certain Obama will be opening the Oval Office to Fox News. There's plenty of precedent for that, he was always fair and open to media outlets that didn't support his candidacy.
Lincoln... LOL! While Republican talking heads were crying about Obama "already measuring the drapes in the Oval Office" a week before the election, I saw past it all and realized the truth: Obama's
Then again, maybe the comparison isn't so crazy after all... Wasn't Lincoln's first act as President also to grant enemies of America captured illegally on the battelfield the same rights as US citizens in court, right down to government-issue ACLU attorneys. I think I remember that from history class.
So when I read shit like this...
"As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends," Obama said. "Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection."...I have to wonder who the Obamunists think he's talking to - the Republicans, or the Jihadists? The latter, coincidentally, seem to believe that Obama is good for jihad.
"The leader of a jihadi group in Iraq argued Friday that the election of Barack Obama as president represented a victory for radical Islamic groups that had battled American forces since the invasion of Iraq."I never thought I'd agree with terrorists, but whatcha' know? Only a week after The One is elected and I've already reached common ground with America's sworn enemies. He IS the peacemaker!!!
No. Just kidding. It really makes me ill. In fact it almost makes me nostalgic for Bill Clinton, who merely tried to "Change" the military by Presidential decree with his "don't ask, don't tell, don't drop your soap" policy on his first day on the job. Now we've got a President-elect who, if he listens to those "advisors" who pulled the strings to get him elected, may very well set captured enemy combatants free while the war is still going on... unless he first decrees the war to be over, then I guess they won't be enemies any more. Wow, in hindsight Clinton seems like a big, harmless ol' goofball, doesn't he?
Now, I don't mean to pick on our President-elect -- to do so would be racist, anyway. I'm sure terrorists are the last thing on his mind. After all, they haven't attacked America since September 11, 2001 when it became clear that Bush would be leaving office in 7 short years, and now that Bush is on the way out all the radical Islamists will throw down their arms and love America once again, much like the French. No, The One has some serious shit to deal with -- for starters, he must Rescue Human Civilization. Wow, I bet he didn't realize that was in the job description when he announced his candidacy. And what will he have to Rescue Human Civilization from? Why... the weather. More specifically the rapidly
After the planet is saved, The One can settle into the easy job of fixing our economy that was decimated by the Failed Economic Policies of the Bush Administration and John McCain, who refused to do anything about the impending subprime mortgage market collapse. I say the job is easy, because all you need to do is confiscate wealth from those who earn it and hand it over to those who didn't; history has proven that always works. And those middle-class tax cuts and other miracles that you were promised? Oh... heh. Just kidding. C'mon, can't you people take a joke? Besides, who needs unpatriotic tax cuts -- soon our economy will rebound to new heights and America will once again be taxed into the prosperity of the Carter years. Your dog will shit gold bullion and $100 bills (with Obama's face on them, no doubt) will grow on trees.
And just in time, too -- we've got another failing industry to
HopeChange™, you racists.
