His name is Barack Obama, not Jesus Christ.

His name does translate to “blessing” in Swahili, but contrary to the wants and needs of his apparent billions of rockstar groupies around the globe, Barack Obama, while capable and fully competent is not the Messiah, the Antichrist or Krishna or even Superman for that matter. Every time I sit down to research the news, no matter where my journey takes me these days, I’m inundated with Obama news of any and all varieties. Well, newsflash: His home life, his work life, his children’s home life and the school they have yet to attend, his yet to be named First-dog’s non-existent schedule for its upcoming book tour (there will probably be one), his wife the black militant, his pastor the conspiracy theorist, his friend by association that nobody likes Billy the Terrorist, his friend that nobody invited to the party Joe the Plumber, his Christian faith, his Muslim faith, his mission to boldly go where no president has gone before, his alleged election to the Galactic Senate and his subsequent and prophesied defeat of the Sith, the federal bailout package being pushed by the GOP to rebuild Sean Hannity’s brain after it explodes within the next six months, and the magical, candy-like button that will heal every nation and secure a thousand years of peace are all lies! The end is near! Aaaaaaaah!

Wax in good fun!

    You know what’s funny? If you go to one of the more progressive websites, like Daily Kos, most of the members are stoked that Obama won, but are wondering how they can be effective participants in the new administration, and wondering if he’s too moderate for his own good.

    Yes, it’s an acceptable feeling to want to scream your lungs out due to Obamamania, but the world views this as a giant leap in the right direction, and the international community has suffered as much or more than we have here in the US due to BushCo’s policies. Let ‘em celebrate for a bit…it’s only been a week.

    Say what you will about who he’s not, but we’ve yet to see how he reacts near kryptonite.

    Bill: I love it!
    I was asked this week to sign some moronic petition, telling Obama “what we expect”. I declined. I also asked that the “liberals” passing the petition try delivering it to 1600 Penn. — like TODAY! After the last eight years, Thank you God for the Constitutional Law Prof. That is enough for me. I am so not going to participate in the sabotage of the president-elect. That was my rant Mike–not at you! :) ~k
