22 months to hope that the damage is not irreperable

The triumph of style over substance. I give him this, BHO and his handlers are brilliant masterful PR geniuses.

Congratulations Americans! Isn't it too ironic that we are still judging the man by the color of his skin and not by the content of his character? How far we have come to go all that way to the other side of the pendulum.

What will these gullible fools say when Iran, Taliban Chavez and all of the other enemies of the US start bashing the great one and burning him in effigy? They already were stunned, stunned I tell you, that the Mumbai massacre occurred after Obama became PE. After all, everyone should love us now that Bush has been banished and the Messiah has arisen.

For now, I am just waiting to see how long it takes for the left to be disappointed in their tabula rasa who will solve the world's problems. Burdened with the utopian expectations from all elements and all arenas, he has nowhere to go but down. Perhaps BHO will end up being the persecuted messiah. The masses have always been viciously vengeful when messiahs don't deliver. We just have to hold out and hope it happens in the next 22 months before too much damage is done to this country, hope that capitalism is not defeated and Israel is not destroyed. Once they have no Bush to bash, they will turn on him. 2010!
