What is it with this guy? Is he all about props and appearances? We got the elaborate faux Greek temple backdrop for his convention speech. Some mentioned it looked to be a replica of the Lincoln Memorial or a mini Parthenon. Now we have BO's January 17 re-enactment of Lincoln's rail trip to Washington for the inauguration. I guess we're supposed to swoon at the imagery.
I almost upchucked my breakfast last week when I read in the paper that he was doing this. A local 34 year old single mother was invited to board the train in Philadelphia. She will join a group of 17 others who are being hailed as making "extraordinary contributions to the country by championing workers rights, serving in the military or trying to make it through today's tough economy." She's in "the trying to make it through this economy" group.
In the paper she was quoted as saying that BO's "candidacy had been a journey of regaining faith in the political process--and that anyone can accomplish any goal they set." Then she said about her son, "With him, nothing is impossible--this is how it should start being again. It's the way it used to be." Huh? Gibberish. That's the way BO campaigned. If she gets any time with him on the train she said there's something she'd like to tell him. This next sentence is the part that sent the coffee I'd just sipped spewing across the table. Big gasp here. This may be a double....gasp, gasp. "I'd say thank you," she said.

THANK YOU??
THANK YOU???
Oh, sweetie, sweetie. If I knew where you lived I'd drive over, knock on your door and say, "Girlfriend, can we talk? Can you tell me exactly what you are thanking BO for? Specifics now....real things to thank him for." I can only imagine her reply. "Well," she'd say, "I
thank him for, for, uh, everything bad is going to go away and everything is going to be fixed when he's president and it's going to start being the way it used to be." Then I would say to her, "My dear woman, have you heard him say recently that things are so bad it may take years to fix this? He didn't say that to you when he came courting you, did he?" When Bush said things were bad the press accused him of scare tactics. All of a sudden now it's the Messiah pronouncing a great truth.If only she knew the truth. This man has no fairy dust in his pockets to sprinkle around and magically transform this country into Camelot. My fear is that he is planning to do the exact opposite of what will turn the economy around by continuing this bail-out strategy and messing with our taxes.
I wish this man and his family nothing but good health and happiness always, but I want his presidency to fail. By that, I mean I don't want his agenda to succeed. No, I will not board BO's love train, his train of hope, his train of change. You can "keep the change," sir.
The Prez
