So here we are, three days and two oaths of office into the brand-spankin' new presidency of B. Hussein Obama, our first affirmative-action president. I hate to sound bitter and mean-spirited, but, well, I am. So I can't help it. To be fair, I defended Obama when the people around me started complaining that he wasn't doing enough between November 4 and this past Tuesday. After all, the dude wasn't even in office yet. I've always maintained that this was going to be an interesting four years, but I wanted to make sure that people didn't start those four years until it was absolutely necessary.
There's so much to say about this guy, and all of it's bad news. Unfortunately, it seems like everyone knows and no one cares. The people that voted against him already know why he's bad news, and the people that voted for him don't care, with the help of the DLA (Democratic Left Arm), the mainstream media. Sure, they know that Bristol Palin was pregnant and John McCain was a POW (who turned on his country to make the torture stop *gasp* as if they could take someone pulling out a leg hair at a time without crying about it. Shoot, George "Theres-no-stuff-in-my-pants" cried at the inauguration and made national headlines). But I'm so tired of being told that, "You had your turn. Now it's our guy's turn, and you have to sit down, shut up, and support him as the president." Right, like you supported Bush? Riiiiight.
So rather than me rant anymore, I just point out the current headlines on Drudgereport (yes, I know you libs are getting your panties in a twist at the thought of the Drudgereport, but if you stop crying long enough to find out what it is, you'd realize that all he does is compile news sites. Very helpful to people like me who, you know, work so we can pay our taxes to fund all the liberal feel-good programs):

"Obama Stares Down Politico: Not the Time for Questions"
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/17831.html
The reporter asked him how he could reconcile a strict ban on lobbyists in his administration with a deputy defense secretary nominee who lobbied for Raytheon, a defense contracter not unlike Blackwater. You know, the defense contracter the libs love to hate. He got irritated and told the reporters that if they couldn't play nice, he wouldn't come to play anymore.
Arrogant. Conceited. Waaaaay in over his head. And people are fawning over him! They've got the tingles in their various body parts below the belly button! They're crying and fainting and giggling like school children! And most of them are adults!
This should be an interesting four years...
