I’m at a university, so there was general euphoria from the Obama supporters yesterday. They can’t wait for the whole world to change into utopia in January. Some of them are committed leftists who hate America and will delight in seeing our history, traditions, and economic & military power dismantled. These are mostly faculty. The others are students, who, like, totally feel that, like, you know, the whole world will, like, totally be changed, dude. I mean, like, you know?

These high, unrealistic expectations are going to be very hard for Obama to deal with. The current BLS unemployment statistics [September, the Nov stats come out tomorrow] show an unemployment rate for blacks at 11.4% and for Hispanics at 7.8%. It is 5.4% for whites and 3.8% for asians.

I suspect that the October figures will be much worse, especially for blacks and hispanics who make up a large part of the unskilled labor force. Obama will have to come up with some sort of excuse once he takes office, i.e., it is Bush's fault. That will only work for so long.

Just ask them when they will be ready for a draft. You KNOW it's coming.
