Well, it's done and there is nothing else that can change. The presidential elections are over and all I can say is holy shit! We are deteriorating as a society when we decide that the office of president is one of those jobs where qualifications don't matter, the old playground adage of "let's give him a shot he can't do any worse" should never apply to one of the greatest positions on earth. Keep in mind all the sheeple that might read this blog, Obama is no messiah and he will not be the savior of the world. He is another sleazy politician who will look for ways to keep himself in office for 2 full terms, regardless the cost to average citizens like you and me. It's funny how everyone wants to blame our current situation on the Republicans, but will never mention the policies of a previous president that helped lead to this situation. Clinton's signing of NAFTA has cost our country more manufacturing jobs and wages than almost anything else. Of course, Bush is a dipshit and nobody is trying to debate that fact. However, I keep coming back to what is in store for the next 4 years and all I can do is cringe. Our government is sloppy and inefficient, and president elect Obama is looking to grow this drain on the American people. The founding fathers wanted limited government and formed itself to allow the people to best live their lives free from unwanted intrusion. The democratic congress has proven completely ineffective in the 2 years they've had office and now there will be no check to their power. Mark my words, you'll be wishing for the crappy Bush administration this time next year. The old saying of: Be careful what you wish for has a new poignancy now.
