How does a major league baseball team go from worst to first like a Tampa Bay or a football team like the Giants?
Most often, it’s not big mistakes that kill you, it’s the little ones. Politically, the 2008 election was going to be a brutal one. To win, the good guys would have had to run the perfect candidate and the perfect campaign. Taking nothing away from John McCain and Sarah Palin, it just didn’t happen.
Is the Republican party now mortally wounded; on its last legs. Not by a long shot.
For within the fruits of its own success, the seeds of the Democratic Party’s own destruction have been sown.
Because they will soon control congress and the Presidency, it’s put up or shut up time for them.
Their problems begin with the main reason for their success.
Barack Obama.
To survive much less to thrive in law school the way like Obama did tells me Barack Obama plays every political angle possible, and invariably chooses the one that’s right for him. In Barack’s mind, what’s good for his country is only good if it’s best for Barack. He takes self interest to a whole new level.
Furthermore, Barack’s swagger in front of an audience (the bigger the audience, the bigger the swagger) tells me the brown eyed handsome man not only is driven to financial success, but also posesses an unquenchable thirst for power, not to mention the desire for everyone within earshot to admit he’s the smartest thing since the political wheel and deal was invented.
All of which is why I believe Barack is going to prove to be a huge disappointment to the blame-america-first crowd. Most of these vile creatures are wanna-bees or has-beens who amounted to less than the price of a share of Sirius stock.
Jealous of the rest of us who work very hard and succeed in many different ways, they’re only hope to feel good about themselves is transference. They see Barack’s success and feel it somehow rubs off on them. And that’s the rub. In no way does it.
Environmentalists will curse every effort they made for Barack.
Gays will suffer suicidal sized depression, many will become so conflicted they will go straight.
Left wing loons, the dregs of society, will go off the deep end. I wouldn’t be surprised if some forced their heads into the bowl and flushed, torture, mafia style, but self inflicted.
TV, Hollywood and media types will go to their cocktail parties at Town Hall in New York and the Whisky Bar at the Sunset Marquis in West LA, and lament their misplaced belief that Barack really meant what he said. Until realizing that Barack said what he needed to say because he needed to get elected.
The mainstream media I think will stick by Barack, but will be marginalized by coordinated attacks on their disgraceful left wing bias. I think eventually they’ll start to buckle under pressure.
The acid test of my theories about the man with an IQ as great as his personal ambition will come when it’s time to appoint judges. If he appoints left loon judges I’ll be proved wrong.
My final thought is about the woman whose frowns are so wide they make the giant California redwoods look like toothpicks. Poor Michelle.
She is the Starter Wife the new TV series is about, a local Chicago girl with express desires who’s overdrawn on her personal attractiveness account, writing checks her looks can’t cash.
How much longer can Barack wait till he can’t stand waking up every morning to the frown that could sink a thousand ships and make a pirate who hasn’t seen a woman in three months seasick for two days?
For our President Elect waiting to make his trophy girl move, it must be like standing on a bone chilling cold, snowy Jamaica, NY train station platform on a Monday morning, and hearing that the 8:05 that takes you into Penn Station has been cancelled due to frozen switches.
I’m sure Barack looks at his starter waif and wonders why he didn’t wait for the next, sexier, train to pull into the Harvard Law dating station. Let’s face it, if there were a line of women, from pretty to pretty ugly, Michelle would be the caboose pulling up the rear.
What I’m, of course, leading up to is that, as sure as Barack’s favorite look every morning is in the mirror, President Erect Obama’s first affair is not a matter of if but when.
After all, when you get right down to basic human needs, isn’t that what hope and change, money and power are all about? Try blaming this one on Bush.
PS from Rachel
The meanness and nastiness of my remarks about Michelle aren’t because I just found out on pretty reliable information that my quarterback playing boyfriend cheated on me. It’s payback. It’s a result of all the Bill Mahar, Letterman, Joy Bahar, Rosie O’donnell, Olbermann etc. etc. etc. unending stream of vicious personal attacks for the last eight years on George Bush, the girls and Laura, and on Sarah Palin for the last few months. Until they stop, in various media I will be carving Michelle a new whatever, whenever I get the opportunity. What goes around comes around. Have a nice day.
