As I have been out and about these past few days, at stores, restaurants and the like, I have sensed people copping an attitude. This attitude is coming from people wearing Obama buttons, stickers and t-shirts. The conclusion is that these Obama supporters are feeling high and mighty and their (and the savior's) toilets smell really nice.
The campaign is over folks. I know you are still on your honeymoon. You are excited about the promises of the future. You are excited about the 'change'. But reasonable people know not all change is good.
In his press conference, he tried to set the tone that it won't be quick and easy, be patient, it will take sacrifice, blah, blah, blah. There are going to be a lot of disappointed people soon, but a few teleprompted speeches and they will be back on board for 2012. (Unless of course there are internal party forces attempting to thwart the re-election campaign. You know who I mean.)
Unemployment at 6.5% will seem low in a few months time. Will you still have your obamitude, then? Who is going to get the blame with the house of cards falls down? My money is on either Bush or the filibustering few republicans who will be trying to keep the country from going down the toilet. Guess what, your toilet stinks now, but it will be even worse when we are all stuck going down in it!
