Obama: Prophet of Perpetuity?
Call me a cynic, but I don't have faith in Obama at all, at least not until he proves me wrong. Already he has appointed primarily a lot of "Clintonites" and seems to be on the ball with big business. Change we need? So far doesn't seem like it. But only time will tell, as of this day (and in 4.5 hours as of this writing) he's going to be sworn in as figurehead #44. Now, I understand things can only get better...hopefully...everything is still up in the air. We'll see in 100 days if anything has been changed. Of course, here's my definition of change: universal health care, federal aid for an ailing working class, the abolition of the WTO and IMF, and an increase in jobs. It's a pretty tall order but hey, a guy can dream.

I think the closest we might get in what you said is Healthcare. Personally, I'd LOVE to see him appoint a special prosecutor or whatever to go after Bush and those fuckers (it's pretty clear that if Obama don't make *Some* move in this, even if nothing happens and Bush and Cheney get off scot-free, history will forever be popmarked with their "we-got-away-with-criminal-shit" stench). But yeah, Healthcare, and just get some fuckin jobs going.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that worries me is that Obama will do a good job, *then* the Republicans will try and twist it around and take everything good he's done and just fuck it up again. It's also hard to do immedate good when you have to first clean up a shitstorm that's the size of K2.
PS: Hope I didn't curse *too* much, now that Bush is pasttense it actually makes me angrier the more I think about it.
ReplyDeleteThat, and of course his exiting line:
"You may not like the decisions I made, but you can all agree that I made those decisions."
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SHIT?!
