Not the end of the world

This guy makes me feel a little better about the election.

It's easy to let yourself go in despair and start thinking things like "We are well-and-truly ****ed" or "This is the worst of all possible outcomes". But it isn't true.

I think this election is going to be a "coming of age" moment for a lot of people. They say, "Be careful what you wish for" and a lot of people got their wish yesterday.

And now they're bound to be disappointed. Not even Jesus could satisfy all the expectations of Obama's most vocal supporters, or fulfill all the promises Obama has made.

I think Obama is going to turn out to be the worst president since Carter, and for the same reason: good intentions do not guarantee good results. Idealists often stub their toes on the wayward rocks of reality, and fall on their faces. And the world doesn't respond to benign behavior benignly.

But there's another reason why: Obama has been hiding his light under a basket. A lot of people bought a pig in a poke today, and now they're going to find out what they bought. Obama isn't what most of them think he is. The intoxication of the cult will wear off, leaving a monumental hangover.

I rather enjoyed that myself..... the only thing that I really disagree with is that O** isn't going to have as much of the checks and balances as most presidents do .... Supreme Court is heavy on the liberal side .... Legislative Branch is now heavy on the democrats side and of course our nice new socialist president in the Executive Branch.  :banghead:  AND  where he says they won't be able to blame it on "us" ....nope, they will, democratic/liberal MO is to blame everything bad on republicans and everyone else.  It won't matter if it's true, or they'll have no facts .... remember, they are the masters at creating their own truth.

AND, I HOPE the Iran nuclear bombing of Israel doesn't happen as he predicts but ...

I'll try not to aquire O** Derangement Syndrom.  :evillaugh: really, I will    :evillaugh:  I promise  :evillaugh:
Never argue with idiots.  They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience
