what's up with Obama?

Just wanted to post an update on what's going on with Obama. Well, he's been busy not saying anything specific about what he'll do as President because "there's only one President at a time." Maybe he's buying time to sort it out himself, who knows.
But in the meantime, Obama has been picking his cabinet and people to surround himself with for the next 4 years. This means we finally get a glimpse of 'Hope and Change'.

So what does 'Change' look like?



The Clinton years apparently. Did I miss Obama's mentioning a time machine or anything during his many inspirational speeches?? Maybe Obama's taking early steps in combating global warming and protecting the environment by practicing 2 of the 3 Rs: Reuse and Recycling. It really looks like some serious recylcing of Washington politicians to me. I'm excited to hear his choices defended by his many fans. I'm sure Hillary and Bill's come back is a 'stroke of genius' somehow.


Should be fun! Can you say drama?

Interesting choice. But it's a collector's edition, so I have to buy it.

how Obama got elected

This is way too interesting and funny to not pass on. I recommend watching the whole thing and visiting www.johnziegler.com if you want more on Obama voters, media bias, etc. It's pretty astounding. I know media bias is a myth created by evil conservatives to keep us down, but I think it's pretty clear to me...also clear that many people in this pop culture, American idol landscape we now live in get their information from lopsided sources or SNL skits or people like Bill Maher because it's hip, funny, cutting edge and entertaining. People see things like a candidates clothing more important than their actions, associates, or platforms.



Ok, so I was told the country sucks, so who's in charge of congress? Must be Republicans.

Who said there are 57 states? Well, Palin is an idiot so she must have said it.

Who did something bad or weird? I don't know, so it must be the Republican.

Who is House Speaker? Who is this person? This person? Who did that? Who said that?
Can't say that I know, or even care to know. OBAMA...OBAMA....OBAMA....

hmm...

house i like

at least on the inside. Really similar style to ours, i just wanted to post it so i could find it to check out again in the future. slide show.

are you patriotic now? how about now?

I heard on the radio all this stuff about people in liberal parts of the country buying American flags and wanting to show pride in their country for the first time in their entire life since the election. They mentioned this article from a Seattle newspaper. I think it's a strange thing for people to claim they are now proud for the first time, or that they now love their country, when a week ago they couldn't say that. I've been thinking about lots of stuff lately about this sudden love for your country thing, and also the idea of acceptance- but only when the other person agrees with your point of view. They seem often to be tied together somehow, or at least usually involve a lot of the same people. I bet if you go to places in middle America, 'traditional values' places or 'bitter-clinger' territory as some like to say, places that typically have lots of American flags up throughout their towns and neighborhoods, I bet you will continue to see those flags through the next four years. Even if they didn't vote for the man in the white house, I bet those flags remain. I think they know, as I know, that our country isn't one man. It isn't even 2 people, or even a small group of temporary leaders and governors, it is something much larger and greater.

Dad, I suppose you've taken your flag down right? Have maybe even burned it after seeing the election results? Probably won't even consider taking it out for the next four years? I highly doubt it. I just think it's really funny that papers in Seattle or San Francisco are actually running pieces on properly displaying and caring for the flag because their readers never cared to honor it before and don't even know how. Whatever their reasoning be, I say- 'Welcome! Join us in appreciating our country!" I just hope that that truly is what they are doing, because no matter who got elected, I think it's a pretty great place.

election day positivity

In trying to remain positive while drowning in the Obama worship around me, I look to my new friend Peggy. She seems to be feeling pretty good right now.



I will try to share her sentiments. Perhaps it's true, I may no longer have to pay for my gas. My student loan: taken care of. Rent? gone. That does sound nice. (I mean, look at Obama's illegal aunt Zeituni in the Boston projects, his half brother in his Kenya shack, etc., this guy is benevolent!) Anyways, I learned somewhere that if I have even a seed of hope or faith I should plant that seed within me and see how it develops. Maybe I should try it out. Maybe rich people should be punished and everyone else should depend on Obama to give them those greedy rich people's money. You know, those doctors and lawyers and people who don't deserve their wealth....wait, that's everyone in my own family except for me! HA! Suckers!
