The party's over...

Congratulations to Comrade Obama! Just kidding. He has said that he will govern from the center. Lets hope so since nothing in his past would support that. You'll notice I even put his picture in the center so I can try to use feng shui to influence his policies. I don't have any problem with the center if its really the center, that implies a little of "the left" a little of "the right", you know "checks and balances." We'll see. Only time will tell. I recently read the book (okay Book on CD) "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Excellent book, read (or listen) to it. What a genius Lincoln was. Very unorthodox in his governance. I have a new found respect for him, and his savvy. I could not help but notice some of the similarities between his resume and Barak Obama's, both were/are a lawyer, had/have very limited experience (although Lincoln had served a full term prior to his presidency), both from Illinois (the least important similarity granted). I can only hope for the sake of all of us that he's half the man and half the president that the Abraham Lincoln was. God help us and God bless America.
This brings up an interesting point, who will be Obama's "spiritual advisor"? What are HIS feelings toward America? Will he say, or believe "God Bless America" or something else? There have been those who say "who is Barak Obama"? and "What do we really know about Barak Obama?" Their critics say "he's only been vetted publicly for two years, what else can be be hiding?" I answer LOTS! If his positions hadn't changed on so many subjects then I'd agree with the critics (aka "Obamaniacs" and "Mama's for Obama"), but he's changed his positions more than a utility infielder. He has an extremely liberal voting record, but he's also said he supports both sides of an issue. The Daily Show and other pundits have had a lot of fun showing McCain pandering to both sides, but what about Barak. They don't like to show him doing the same thing, although he has i.e. "The surge will fail!" "I knew it would work!" (paraphrased). At any rate. Let's see how this goes. I think I'll start up my political cartooning again. I have a feeling that B.O. (lets call him that) and "Joe 'six-pack' Biden will give me plenty of fodder, like "W." and Clinton did before him. So here's to four years of really easy punditry! Too bad McCain/Palin could've been a lot of fun too. Well so much for "the grump" and the "trophy veep", I was hoping we could have someone worth looking at on C-Span. Too bad. So long McPalin! Fare thee well!
