| Great speeches by both. Of course, I am disheartened by Obama's win and the Dems in the Senate. I congratulate Obama, and hope he can do more than energise a teary-eyed Kool-Aid-drinking crowd with his policies and actions. Yep, Americans must work together (ie, pay more taxes). With Pelosi and Reid controlling Congress, and Obama's inability to vote against his own party, well? There is no money for universal healthcare, but pork projects will get passed on a whim and defense spending will shrivel. Unions and affirmative action will get lots of backing, tax-paying corporations will flee to the Bahamas. Ya, says me nephew, who wants to eradicate war. Yep, good idea. But if the US is attacked, who will be crying when the military doesn't have the spending to do its job? Interested in how the markets open tomorrow. I'm betting down; they were up today coz everyone was just glad the bladdy circus was over. Good luck, President Obama. And tell your wife she needs a new fashion consultant. Fek, at the rally tonight, she and her kids looked like they just came from a Halllowe'en party. And who dresses a little girl in black? Scary. |
