I haven't posted since before the national election, as I have been too dejected by the election of Barack Obama and too exhausted from arguing so hard for John McCain and Sarah Palin. I'm also busy with business. But the world continues to rotate, and since Nov 2 all I've been hearing about is how The Messiah is running his transition like a genius, and W sucks, etc. etc. The mass media in this country are so far to the left it's just embarrassing.
I'm at the point now where I just want the guy to take office already. Enough with the speculation and fawning over him - let him try governing! Let's see what he's got. I'm betting he's got nothing - nada - zilch. I've never found Obama to be remotely impressive and I doubt I'll be surprised when he takes office.
Obama continued his campaign posturing and preening even after the election, starting with a new "Office of the President-Elect" seal on his podiums, furniture, and stationery. What a buffoon. He is so hot to have everyone look up to him that he just can't wait another 2 months. "Look up to me NOW!" he seems to be saying.
A couple of days ago, during his vacation in Hawaii, Obama dropped in for a surprise visit to some troops as they were enjoying a Christmas dinner. According to one report, the reception was relatively quiet, with the troops staying seated until Obama approached them, at which point they were respectful. Contrast this with the "rock star" receptions Bush reportedly gets. Bush spends more time with them, doesn't posture for cameras, even serves the troops their food. Obama showed his face and "slapped backs" for an hour, then bailed out and had dinner at his beach home. The guy is all talk.
Like I said, give him the authority already. Let him try to govern. Heck, let him just try to be an effective executive -- for the first time in his life. He has no experience for this job whatsoever, but obviously thinks very highly of himself. Let's see what happens when he can't vote "Present" anymore.
