Now I know how all the Kerry supporters must have felt in 2004 when Bush won. Again. I don't think that I have ever rolled my eyes so many times in one day. There is always hope for 2012.
I hope that his Benevolent Omniscience will spend time reaching out to people like me. It seems that he has been far more unilateral in his bipartisanship than Senator McCain. I fear the erosion and eventual dissolution of rights and values that I hold dear (the Fairness Doctrine infringing on free speech, for example). Mr. Obama, when you are president, please take my tax credit and give it back to the people you took it from - the ones who gave me my job in the first place. I work for my money. And while I'm at it, may I also decline the welfare healthcare? If I want health insurance, I'll pay for that, too. Just leave that deductible in my paycheck. Thanks, but no thanks.
I wanted to observe one other point. I heard lots of folks from the other side calling for the deconstruction of the electoral college in order to base our national elections solely on the popular vote. I wonder if they're still singing the same tune now that their guy won with a mere difference of 6% in the popular vote. When you compare the 84 mil that McCain spent with the 650 mil that Obama spent, seems like our side got more bang for their buck - err, value for their dollar.
Okay, that's two points. Inflation is a bitch. Now what did I do with my pocket constitution...
