We Need Substance, Not Symbolism

Less than 100 hundred hours until The Immaculate Inauguration, and we are now being bombarded with the latest spin/talking points: Barack Hussein Obama’s hero is Abraham Lincoln.

I can certainly see the symbolism; after all, BHO will soon be American’s first bi-racial president, and Lincoln was instrumental in freeing the slaves. But symbolism is no substitute for substance, and all of this Obamagasm doesn’t really matter. What DOES matter is how BHO will govern over the next 4 years. Right now, there are many more questions than answers.

Will BHO fix America’s problems, or create more? Will his primary focus be on the United States, or will he be more worried about how the US is PERCEIVED by the rest of the world?

Will this sudden fixation with Lincoln lead to a fundraising opportunity via the Lincoln Bedroom? If so, will we see a guest list?

How many campaign promises will not see the light of day? (for those of the Obama voters suckered in by the promises of tax cuts, it’s been shelved)

How long before BHO is tested with a crisis?  Along those same lines, how soon before poor Joe Biden needs to be muzzled AGAIN?

Surely, BHO has a daunting road ahead, and eating like Abe Lincoln on Inauguration Day means absolutely zilch in the grand scheme of things.

I only hope that the next 4 years is not  Welcome Back, Carter.

Change Is On The Way

The country wants change, and change is what they will get, on the very first day of the new administration.

Do you remember when George W. Bush was inaugurated in 2005? The cost prior to inauguration was projected to be $40 million. 

Next Tuesday’s Obamagasm is already estimated to be over $150 million,  and an expert in port-o-potties,  who is also a law professor, has warned of potential lawsuits, due to a lack of portable toilets.

In other inauguration news, some blacks are taking the day off from work to watch the festivities on TV.  Sounds good to me. That just gives me justification on taking off Inauguration Day the next time a WHITE president gets sworn in.
