Obama's Speech

We have the classiest President ever! What a wonderful speech he gave this morning. He hit every mark dead on. He said things that have needed to be said for so long. I’m so proud that he represents our country. He actually looks like a true world leader. Unlike his predecessor, he likes to make friends instead of enemies. I had begun to worry a little about how much he may actually get done. But I think he’s going to do alright. He will have to battle the Republicans about everything he tries to do. They have no clue what they’re up against. Isn’t it great! Prick Cheney thinks he can ruin him. But when you put them side by side in todays world, there’s no comparison. Cheney just looks like the petty fear monger that he is. He needs to go away now. His time is over.
Dare I say this!?! I think “W” has shown some class by keeping his mouth shut. There, it is. Wow, that wasn’t easy. But you gotta give credit where credit is due. Weird!
And how about that Michelle Obama! Is she a great First Lady! So easy going and natural. She’s really out there making her mark. I’ve already forgotten what Laura Bush looked like! She had really high poll ratings, but I guess compared to her husband, anyone looks good. But back to the Prez. I think his speech will be picked apart for days, maybe weeks. But that could be a good thing. It means people will a least be talking about his ideas. Actually probably arguing about his ideas. Politics as usual? Maybe. But I think he already took it to another level. A step up. The balls in their court now. Like I said, he’s a classy guy.

Tit for Tat

Our political discourse has become the childish game “tit for tat”. As I listen to the Republicans going on about Obama’s Supreme Court pick, Sonia Sotomayor, they say, “the Democrats gave us a lot of grief over W’s picks, so we’re gonna do the same to them”. Nanner nanner nanner! And I find myself being just as bad. I sit in front of my T.V. and yell at these nut cases like Rush Limbaugh and Prick Cheney as if they can hear me! I need to get over it, but not yet. Here’s what I think. President Obama made the right choice. He knows what he’s doing. He knows the Republicans will only undo themselves with all their criticism of this all to human Latina woman. She’s human!! That’s more than we can say about her critics! Karl Rove says she’s not too smart. Karl Rove!?! A man who’s best friend calls him “turd blossom”!?! And Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh are calling her a racist. They took one of her quotes completely out of context and think they can ruin her with it. But let them talk. The more they talk, the more people they alienate. We have a very smart President. It’s hard to get use to! I want him to fight back, but in his own way, he is. I don’t think he yells at the T.V. or calls people “turd blossom”. He just calmly goes about the work of governing the country. So how come I don’t feel “at peace” yet?? It’s time to fold these old legs into the Lotus position, put three fingers together and let myself float down stream. But first I think I need to punch one of those big blue meanies in the face!
