Decline? We don’t decline, my Aussie friend. This country needs an enema, and Obama is the Ex-Lax. The U.S. had a temper tantrum tonight. We’ll get over it. The novelty of Obama will wear off sooner or later. The same thing happened with Deval Patrick here in Massachusetts. There was a great feeling of hope when he was elected our first A-A governor in 2006, in part on his soaring promises with a veto-proof State House. And what has he accomplished? Nothing. Obama will try to accomplish, and he probably will get things done, but if he misjudges this result as an electorate eager for socialism instead of a referendum on Bush or the novelty of seeing him elected president, he’ll be this country’s first and last black president.
I hope you’re right. I love your enema comment, an emema should be cleansing indeed.
Here’s to Sarah in 2012.
