President Barack Obama

I write my blogs as they come to me and aren’t necessarily written on the Wednesday that I post them. Right now I sit here anxiously awaiting precincts to close and the media to report the winners. At the moment Kentucky went McCain (surprise), and Vermont went Obama. About 5 minutes ago it ran across my mind that McCain could actually win but I still feel deeply that the media is making this race closer than it really is so that their ratings are higher. I want to step aside for one quick moment and address my reasoning for the historic voter turnout. If there’s one thing that everyone in the United States can agree on, President Bush has motivated citizens to get out and vote. I honestly think G-Dub did a better job than anyone (including P-Diddy), at getting people to vote. Thank you.

I may have said this before but, if you think that the United States is in dire straights here’s why you need(ed) to vote for Obama. The more important race here is whether the Democrats can obtain 60 seats in the Senate. If they have majority, they can override any attempts to filibuster, therefore making it easier for them to pass legislation and help the country recover from the depths of dredgery (I just made up that word, so what). If the Democrats hold 60 seats in the Senate and McCain wins, he win undoubtedly be a lame duck president, unable to accomplish anything. That’s my quick anecdote of the situation. I think I heard it may take some time to get the final results on the Senate vote count.

Abomination is the best description I have for the bonus receiving bankers. Here’s why, and I think it’s a pretty damn good argument. . . Their argument for giving bonuses (after receiving assistance from government funds), “We need to give them bonuses to retain the best and brightest workers, or we may lose them to hedge funds and other private equity.”
My argument for “No Bonuses!” . . . Aren’t the “best and brightest” the ones who got the banking system in this dilemma in the first place??? Who are they kidding? If they want to leave and go work for a hedge fund, FINE! I say, go, be free, work for a hedge fund. If the hedge fund has any brains they won’t hire any of these bozos. Frustration, abomination, atrocity, criminal. . . how else can I describe it?

In honor of the elections this week I will not be having a Disgraced Politician of the week. I will be having the Honorable Politician of the week, and that is going to go to our next president. The precincts are still reporting at the time I write this so I will update it as I learn the news. (2 hours later) I think McCain is relieved that he was not voted the next President. At the moment the Democrats are 1 seat from having the all important 60, and they already control the House. If it’s change that the United States wanted, it’s change they’re going to get.

Honorable Politician of the week:
President Barack Obama
