You know what that Obama press conference reminded me of? The old dictum that second terms rarely live up to first terms.
With that thought, it’s going to take a couple of brandies and sleeping pills to get to sleep any night for the next couple of weeks.
Couple of weeks? How about the next four years.
Yupt.
Our long national nightmare has fi–
Oh, never mind.
What an optimist, for four more years only! Have you heard of Japan, and Europe?
Can we start a pool on whether Obama makes it through all four years with the date he leaves office (by declaring a health emergency, or is impeached and tossed out, or is tore apart by angry vaginas, or whatever method of departure you prefer.)
I’m kinda looking forward to 4 more years of ineffectiveness from Obama. Well, at least 2 more years.
The vast majority of damage done during the O admin happened during his first 2 years when the Dems controlled the House and the Senate. And even then, it wasn’t O, it was Nancy Pelosi and to a lesser degree, Harry Reid calling the shots. O just nodded in approval.
When the Tea Party cut off Nancy’s balls in 2010, things changed drastically. And we’re still there now.
So I’m OK with at least 2 more years of stalemate/gridlock/federal incompetence.
That government does best that does least, and all that.
IMO, Obama isn’t going to suddenly grow a set. He’s going to continue to vote “present”.
It’s up to the rest of us to figure out how to get this country back on track. And that’s as it should be
Your statement that “second terms rarely live up to first terms” is the best news I’ve heard that the poll projections before the election. I have renewed hope!
“it’s going to take a couple of brandies and sleeping pills to get to sleep any night” and wake up screaming in the middle of the night from nightmares to take a couple more brandies and more sleeping pills,….
