some thoughts on an Obama Presidency

1. Somebody talked about the Obama Administration getting a long "honeymoon". Well, maybe he will, but it's no doubt going to be haunted by the stalkings of his crazy Ex.

2. Mr Obama, if you do nothing else: Investigate, investigate, investigate! That alone will make the nation a better place.

3. The election of Obama is working as a kind of Anti-9/11, but with the same effect. All over the world, there has been an upswelling of positive feelings for the United States, similar to the sympathy we recieved after the bombings of that terrible September morning. Do you think Barack will piss that away the same way George did? Me neither.

4. A conservative blog I read suggested Obama would return to the old Fairness Doctrine. Considering the poison spread over our limited and publicly-owned airwaves, plus the abundance of cable and satellite stations, this doesnt seem like such a bad idea.

5. Didja notice? Now that the Republicans are no longer holding the nation's ATM card, now they've decided that it's time to get back to the "fundamentals" of fiscal responsibility. Too bad they didnt learn that lesson 6 or 7 years ago (and I must confess that I find their "return to core values" a bit... fake? shallow? hypocritical?... Oh, what's the word I'm looking for? Weasel-y? Hard-to-swallow? It'll come to me.)

6. Imagine the dismay of the racists. Obama won, and black people didnt riot! How they gonna prove the superiority of the white race if the dark-skinned devils dont act up?

7. Now that he's found Rahm Emanuel a job, could he maybe get Nancy Pelosi one, too?
come on, it'll take him at least a week to do all that
