Funny, this nicely explains my hypothesis that as Bush-hangers-on could always find ways to justify things that were against the grains of their own ideals, nation building, et al, the Obama-ites will find no difficulty in rallying behind whatever course of action Mr. Obama makes. Like Choice is now the alternative of responsibility for Life, divorce an alternative to wedded resolve to preserver through understanding and compromise, so too we look at the office of the president as temporary, not only because the next election is only around the corner, but impeachment is no longer the final alternate.
True believers will remain steadfast. Pragmatists will cite; “He is a bastard, but he is our bastard.” This is all as it should be. President Bush proclaimed; “I am a uniter, not a divider.” This is all well and fine but as in any relationship, it takes two to tango and if you are up against an abusive, hateful partner, your fate is already made spite the best of intentions.

Now it will be interesting if the Media can now control their star or if they, from the sidelines, will be relegated to mere cheerleaders for the One.

Some of the people I know took that approach…others voted for the place where they plan to live and die. We now have to wait for the politics to return to normal and refight the same old battle, between those who have all the answers, but none of the questions and those who have questions and are seeking answers.

Now I am really done…

What the home ownership segment of the real estate market should not be is a tax benefit. You should buy a home because you are willing to take the risk or you plan to stay there. (Yes all plans change…) When planning to stay, the idea of living on beans and rice and rice and beans for a while to make a killing doesn’t enter the game.

OK…a lot off topic. I’m done now.

Carter II. Disloyalty to subordinates, Inflation, recession, in-your-face radical Islamic attack.

Let’s see if we can avoid this alt-real.

One has to wonder if it had been Rudy/Sarah in 2008 would the estimated 7 million Republican/conservative voters that sat out the election have shown up at the polls? I think so and would have made the contest a repay of 2000.

Actually I think it was the boys at MIT who did most of the heavy design, but I expect the Wharton crowd was jealous.

If there’s anything funny about any of it, try watching Joe Kernan (MS MIT) and Carl Quintanilla go at it.

A real hoot, especially with Nouriel Roubini on the set.

This observation is pretty interesting. Any communication like this should be done on the hush-hush, through channels. We teeming millions shouldn’t be hearing about it. He’ll make himself appear Carter-weak a month before taking office.
