"Change We Can Believe In", derailed by an economy NO ONE saw coming !!

There has been much angst among the far left of the DNC, and some concern among those who helped Obama win this election, concerning the number of centrist selections and Washington insiders being tapped for critical jobs in the new administration.

Ideological campaign themes , have hit the wall of presidential reality.

When banks begin failing at rates not seen since the 1930's you know the economy is in dire straits.
The impact on an incoming administration is profound. You MUST pick veterans of past battles, and place real world expertise as a binary consideration for all high-level governmental positions.
No matter how much you may want to shake up 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., you are forced to make choices based less on ideology, and more on substantive experience.

So before you condemn PE Obama for choosing individuals who appear to be "More of the Same" consider this: If you were drowning, who would you choose to rescue you: The young strapping newbie lifeguard on his first rescue attempt, or the old, grizzled veteran who has saved hundreds from drowning?
I know who I would choose.....

Hannity Insanity!!!

Ok, now I have heard EVERYTHING!!
Sean Hannity of fixed news has figured out HOW PE Obama has caused the current financial
meltdown. He said it is the "Obama-Effect". Supposedly all the rich dudes in the US have figured out that Obama will take all their stuff away, so they are getting out of the market!!!
Hmmm,
No mention of record lay-offs in nearly every employment sector.
No mention of 3 straight quarters of negative growth(All of which occurred prior to Obama winning the election)
No mention of falling GDP, sagging retail sales etc, etc,etc

My god, this is beyond intellectual dishonesty. It is intellectual TERRORISM!!
To spread blatant lies about any President-Elect, let alone one who received more popular votes than any candidate in history, is plain old HATE wrapped in the purported civility of a network TV show.
Sean Hannity should be arrested and held as an enemy-combatant for placing political ideology above national unity.

What a tool.....

The Palin Pathology

Taken as a pure intellectual exercise dissecting the selection of Sarah Palin by JMac, and the resulting circus would be interesting, and perhaps even worthy of a book deal.
However it was a real-world event, one that for 60 days presented catastrophic implications for the US, and the rest of the world. Their is so much idiocy here and on so many levels, it makes one think that collectively America is brain dead!!

Let me be very clear: Sarah Palin would be a danger to the Nation and the World, in any position of National importance. She would make Bush's pick of 'brownie' as FEMA director look absolutely brilliant by comparison. We all know how that turned out.

The GOP knew IMMEDIATELY that she was unfit for the VP position (Or any national position for that matter). Yet on every level from Jmac, to the lowest level GOP operative, Palin was not only accepted, she was universally acclaimed as 'brilliant'. Not one person of power within the GOP spoke the truth, and worse yet, a media blitz aimed at 'selling her' to America was frequently and continually shoved down our throats via every media outlet imaginable. And it worked

The mainstream media knew IMMEDIATELY that she was unfit for the VP position. Yet they did nothing. They cried foul over the lack of access, but did little more than that.

The DNC , its operatives & Obama himself refused to speak the truth, even when asked directly (The wussy media types were PRAYING that someone would do their job!)

Good thing that 52% of America voted appropriately. THANK GOD

But here is what scares the shit out of me: After multiple, very public examples proving that she is incapable of any significant leadership, thought or intellectual curiosity, there are still way too many people that believe that she can be the leader of the GOP. These are not all dumb people, yet they think that a couple of years of "Policy & Issue's" for dummies training, is all she needs to lead this Nation.
Are they all suffering from the Stockholm syndrome? Afraid that they are being sexist? Have aliens taken over their bodies?
I have NO idea.

I do know this:
If by some disaster of reality, she actually becomes POTUS; we should all start looking to the skies for that 'planet-killer' comet, or prepare for the supervolcano that is Yellowstone to erupt.
Because if Sarah Palin becomes POTUS it is proof that the human species has just rendered itself irrelevant to evolution in the most Darwinian way imaginable....
