Tales of the Morbidly Obese

Celebuitician

Ok.  Here is my new word.  We elected the celebrity politician.  Unfortunately, my main issues with him are his simularities to W.  President-elect Obama insulates himself with only a few advisors.  He has little to no governing experience.  People voted for him because he looks like a good guy just like W.  Many people seemed to be snowed by his media blitz, and he out spent his opponent 6-1 and only squeaked out the win.  He has no foreign policy experience- just like W. I think the economy and its surrounding issues will dominate his 4 years in office. Do I hate all his stated policies- no.  Do I think he can do all he has promised- no. 

Will I be thrilled if it all works out- yes.  Odds- not so hot.  I guess you could say that hope didn't win me over.  I do hope that all our new registered voters stay jazzed.  I think that is awesome.  People voted for change.  I wish they could have voted for someone that could produce it.

Election Day tomorrow

Any one excited?  I am, but I doubt it will live up to the 2000 election which was a nail biter for weeks.  I expect will get our winner by Wednesday morning.  My 11 year old son is thrilled.  He wants to go to the polls with me tomorrow so that he can be part of the political process. 

Did I also tell you he wants to be a politician someday?  God Help Us All! 

The State of Georgia has had early voting for 45 days.  An amazing amount of people have voted.  I think the total is 1.5 million already.  I hope most them have researched their candidate, but that is asking a lot isn't it.  It is going to be quite a contest tomorrow.  I hope you all go vote or at least have voted.

Here is my prediction.  No matter who wins, the next 4 years will be marked by huge economic difficulties.  The winner will only serve 4 years, and they will be vilified much the way Jimmy Carter has been since his presidency. 

Be careful what you ask vote for.
