It’s Not the US of KKKA, It’s the US-SSR
On the negative side, we may just have elected a black Jimmy Carter.
On the plus side, “I won’t have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won’t have to worry about paying my mortgage.”
If we live in such a racist country, as the friends and fellow travelers of Barack Obama have argued vehemently throughout this campaign season, how did AmeriKKKa end up electing The One?
President-elect Obama’s first order of business should be to issue a blanket apology to all the voters he and his minions derided as hopelessly bitter, clingy rednecks and inveterate racists.
Now, Michelle, why on earth should he retire the one tool that’s worked so well for him? Would Tiger Woods retire his driver? Would Mario Andretti forgo his steering wheel? Would Yul Brenner grow his hair back?
We are one nation, under Stockholm Syndrome, enslaved by the guilt of slavery. Once upon a time, a candidate with Barack Obama’s associations and (lack of) qualifications wouldn’t have made it past city council, much less state senate, much less US senate, much less… well, I still can’t go there.
Today, he is…p-p-p-p-president. It sure as hell can’t be because of his politics.
Ever the optimist, I look forward to the tenure if Secretary of Defense, William Ayers. It’s about time we had someone at the top of the Pentagon who knew something about munitions. I am less sanguine about Secretary of State Kerry: the job is to look out for America’s interests, not France’s.
And Vice President Biden. Well, if you’re not smiling at the mere thought, you’re taking this stuff way too seriously.

I can only pray that the best one made it to office. The one thing I can say personally is that you had better do some of the things you say you are going to do. I expect that you will not mess with my family, my God beliefs and my values in taking care of people as a nurse. By the way, this job of mine takes care of all of you no matter what race you are thank God.

I love this :
“We are one nation, under Stockholm Syndrome, enslaved by the guilt of slavery. Once upon a time, a candidate with Barack Obama’s associations and (lack of) qualifications wouldn’t have made it past city council, much less state senate, much less US senate, much less… well, I still can’t go there.”
I’ve kept saying the slavery part in my head, but the Stockholm Syndrome makes it better
