An Actor is now our president.

A half-dozen “entities”, most led by insane tyrants, are openly displaying their desire to attack or otherwise destroy the US and/or its allies.

Russia, anxious to reclaim super power status, encourages or directly supports most of these efforts.

China stands just off stage, hoping to fill the vacuum left by a diminished United States.
Most of the rest of the world roots, not so silently, for the Big Dog’s fall.

Our Allies (if they can be called that) hide in the bushes (no pun intended) – preparing their “I was with you all along” speeches to whoever wins.

Our own media would, apparently, like nothing better than to see America reduced to the level of, say… Canada; and regularly publishes every secret they can get their hands on (or invent) to hasten that end.

Not to mention the “perfect storm” which threatens to collapse the very foundation of our economy. The seeds of this collapse were planted by the Democrats and grew out of the very socialist agenda that Obama espouses, and they share at least equal guilt with Republicans for their eyes-closed supervision of the resultant economic catastrophe.

In the midst of all this, we elect the most radical, most socialist, most anti-war president this nation has ever had. A man who thinks he can talk his way out of anything. A man who, in two years as a senator, thinks he knows more about running a war that anyone. A man who wants to “spread around” our wealth, 33% of which has just vaporized. A man who shamelessly plays pre-emptive race cards. And a man who silences, or demeans, or dismisses as “distraction”, any and all opposing views or criticisms.

He (Capital He) has said that he will make everything better… and he has told us, in no uncertain terms, that he will solve our problems with the very same things that caused them in the first place. And we (very small we) have decided to trust him – even though his lies have repeatedly been exposed… even though his associates are undeniably anti-American… even though his penchant for secrecy and his thirst for power have been on obvious display for his entire public life.

But he talks so nice… he looks so good… he reads so well.

The Era of American Idol has come to fruition.

An Orator… an Actor without a screen credit to his name is now our president.

Slim hope for our future.

Well, it appears that a majority of voters, led by the Oberman's, the NYTimes, and the rest of mainstream media, are about to elect a smooth talking nobody as President of this once-great country of ours.

Obama's many distasteful ties to criminals, racists, socialists have been ignored as "distractions".

His own words confirming his socialist leanings: ignored.

His total lack of experience: ignored.

His claim of post-partisanship (completely disproven by his record) is ignored.

His blatant use of Racism throughout his campaign (and his life) is ignored.

All labeled as "distractions"... as we roll onward with vague dreams of hope and change, supplied to us by a man who is totally without substance or experience... his only qualification for the office being that he has been running for it his entire adult life.

I am tempted again to say that we deserve what we will get; but most of us don't... because most Obama voters - blinded by their insane hatred of George Bush - have been fooled by the media, or forced by the Thought Police into thinking that voting against Obama is a racist act. If, indeed, we are that weak as individuals... maybe we do deserve what we will get for the next 4 years with radicals Pelosi & Reid & Murtha & Durbin & Schumer & Rangel & Wexler, et al, in total and unimpeded command of our Government. Checks & Balances, a system which has kept this country from veering too far in either direction, will no longer exist... and that is what scares me most.

The only bright spot that I can find here is the sincere hope that this cadre of radicals will be so caught up in their endless investigations attempting to blame everything on Bush, that they will not get around to completely dismantling the America that has led the world for 200 years. My hope is that America willl survive these next four years, that the socialist wing of the Democrat Party will have failed in its final attempt to transform the U.S. into its exact opposite, and that Democrat Party itself will become a historical footnote.

A nice thought, but a very slim hope, indeed.
