And so It Starts...

So the man got inaugurated today. Let's see what happens. I give him, oh, about 100 days and the shine is going to wear off. Still don't like the guy, still don't think he's qualified, but I sure don't envy him either. I read somewhere on the Internet that there was a rumor that the Republicans actually put Sarah Palen on the ticket with McCain just so the Republicans would lose, thus giving this almost untenable national situation to the Democrats to flounder in. In a way it's an intriguing idea. And, if found to be true, it would be the shrewdest political move ever made.

It was kind of amusing how they botched up the oath of office during the swearing-in. Watch the conspiracy freaks take this to court claiming he was never officially sworn in and does not present in the United States.

Speaking of conspiracies anyone know whatever happened to the lawsuits over Obama's birth certificate? Strange how it just quietly went away with no real resolution that I'm aware of.

There was one point in the inauguration, however, that really pissed me off:

"Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around... when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right. That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen. Say Amen'..."
- Rev. Joseph Lowery

Where the fuck does the good Rev. got off? Funny thing, it was the white man who built this country up from the state of wilderness that it was discovered in. Funny how it was the white man that created the system of government and institutions that this country was founded upon. I guess the white man just wasn't right in what he did. Oh well, Obama will fix everything. By the way where is my government cheese? And where is my job? I distinctly remember the promises of jobs during the campaign. Should I hold my breath? Yeah, didn't think so...

On a side note I have created a little business selling my old books on Amazon.com and my miscellaneous junk on eBay. So far so good and kind of interesting too. I figured this qualifies me to organize the Democrats financial plans since my business is solvent and making a profit.
