It appears as if the best of this country has come to pass and may be gone forever. With the election of Barack Obama, it seems as if the dumbing-down of America is complete. Not to mean that Obama is dumb. To the contrary, he is obviously bright, but his seemingly majestic litany of orations, which really had no substance, did the job on the masses. His rhetoric of "Change" was sold to the majority of Americans, and we all swallowed it, hook, line, and sinker. It was quite an artful campaign which had no platform to speak of, just the mantra of "Change". Obama was sold to us as the "Change you can believe in". He was even anointed by Oprah Winfrey as "The One". We now elect our presidents by being taken in by empty rhetoric, and endorsements by the Hollywood crowd. I hope that the real "One" will look down on us with pity and help to see us through the next four years.

The second coming? Now that's really funny, but let's opine non the less. If Barack Obama is the second coming, then I guess we have nothing to worry about.

We're off to a shaky start to begin with, what with most of his appointments having to admit to tax evasion. I wonder why they aren't being arrested and prosecuted? That's what would happen to most of us. Maybe it's because they are members of the party. It sounds like a resurrection of the old Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. These are bad times for this country, no doubt. If you were a member of the party back in the Soviet Union, you did pretty well. As for the rest of the population, they lived in abject poverty, and most turned in despair to drugs and alcohol.

Obama claimed during his campaign to have a plan to fix every ailment which he felt the country was suffering from. From the economy, to health care, to all of our so-called social ills. As it turns out, Barack really had no plans, and the people he's surrounded himself with are the old Washington insiders that we're all familiar with. We've all seen this routine before. There won't be any real change, just more of the same, but with a higher price tag. Biden brings nothing to the table, and one can only hope that maybe Obama has some good people to turn to, but to date I haven't seen any. Maybe he'll go to the good Reverend Wright for some spiritual advice, and the Reverend will tell him to hell with America, the same
