2008 Year In Review!!!
Herein are some New Years resolutions for Barack Obama, President Elect of the United States.
I will stop trying to fashion myself after Presidents of the past. I am not Lincoln, nor Kennedy, nor even FDR. I resolve to try my upmost to be the sort of President that others will fashion themselves as.
I will not allow any more photos to be taken of myself with my shirt off. It is gratuitous and somewhat vain.
I will accept that fact, now having had the national security briefings, that George W. Bush had things mostly right and will make policy accordingly. In fact I will occasionally ask him for advice and even, from time to time, send him on diplomatic missions and put him on special commissions.
I will let Sean Hannity and anyone else who wants to, regardless of political persuasion, to buy me a beer.
I will tell the special interest groups in my party to take a hike and do what I think is right.
I will actually be willing to hear the opinions of people who disagree with me and, in fact, will have lunch at the White House at least once a week with two or more such people for a spirited discussion.
I will not have meetings with enemies of the United States except to inform them that they have twenty four hours to surrender.
I will tell Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid that I am President of the United States and I will deal with any member of Congress whom I please.
I will send Joe Biden on constant good will visits to foreign countries, make certain that he isn't given too much responsibility, and pray to God he doesn't insert his foot in his mouth too often.
I will forget the idea of a stimulus package and give everyone a tax holiday. I'll have Louis Gohmert over for the signing ceremony and Nancy Pelosi will like it.
I'll insist that NASA get enough money for a proper return to the Moon program.
I'll take economic advice from actual businessmen and not just academics and Wall Street types.
I'll go easy on the global warming thing until and unless there is actual global warming.
And finally:
I'll inform people who need it that I am not God nor the Messiah. I am just a man, albeit a handsome and clever one.
...but we all know that will never happen....
