Barack to the Future
The incredulity and incongruity of Barack Obama has eclipsed quantum physics as the ultimate mind-bending experience. I can’t think of a single more salubrious gesture to remedy the Bush disease which made us the laughing stock of cavemen in Afghanistan who wished us the very worst.
Another term of George Bush and they would have gotten their wish. We nearly self-destructed after eight long years of lies, deceit and lawlessness from that science-hating cowboy who squandered our wealth, prestige and influence for reasons of his own. Thanks for the nasty memories George Bush, because without your outrageous behavior there would be no President Barack Obama. Goodbye and good riddance to the worst president ever.
Barack won by subduing a wide variety of opponents ranging from racists, feminists, libelers, LIEberman and the dreaded undecided. Instead of surrendering his list of donors to pay off Hillary’s campaign debts, it is the Clintons who must now undergo an intense vetting process and submit their list of donors if she is to be secretary of state. Brilliant! He will of course find a way to make up with Richardson later. Tall, thin, good looking and smart as faith will allow, this guy could be the best president ever.
But, we will have to wait and see. For starters, he should close Guantanamo at once and undo all the executive powers Bush gave himself to tap our phones, violate our civil rights, torture detainees and hide the coffins of those who died for his folly. These things must be done posthaste so that we can bury the past and go Barack to the future.
