Ok, I set up this blog so I guess I better start writing. This will be my first (and hopefully last) post about politics. But considering that I'm watching Barack's inaugural speech as I type this, I think it's ok.
Just so you know where I stand (politically speaking) before you invest any more of your time/energy reading my (admittedly trite) opinions about U.S. politics, I will let my biases be known: I am an unapologetic Bush not-liker. Try as I might (perhaps because I have been deluded by the liberal media) I cannot think of anything positive to say about his 8 years in office. Every decision he made (or didn't make) seemed geared toward appeasing/pandering to the idealogues to whom he was beholden.
Goodbye Dubya. Don't let the door hit you in the ass, you dimwitted fool.
I just got finished watching the inauguration, and I must admit (despite my complete and utter support of Barack Obama and his administration) I'm left feeling a bit underwhelmed. Perhaps its because I'm such a sucker for hype. I expected something transcendent. I was expecting Obama's speech to move me, put a lump in my throat, put a tear in my eye, or something. I realize now that I am guilty of having unreasonably high expectations, and I fear that I am not alone in this. And that ultimately, Barack's Presidency will be doomed by this. Also, because Bush's incompetence has put this country in such an impossibly gloomy spot, it's going to take alot of time and hard work just to reach a stasis of normalcy in this country.
