Today's American Culture

You hear about people who win the lottery and all of a sudden they are contacted by long lost relatives. It's also the way politics and a lot of relationships work. Everyone wants to be friends with the popular kid.

Its going to be fun watching who jumps on the coattails of the president-elect. I'm sure we will be hearing, "We worked tirelessly in the senate together, side-by-side, with our shirt-sleeves rolled up for you, the middle-class. He is a great guy, and I was right the with him, every step of the way. blah, blah, blah." Yep, everyone wants to hitch their wagon to a star. Maybe even if some months back they wouldn't give the new popular person the time of day. Two-faced rats. That's point one.

Point two. Now that 'history has been made', what will the media do? They used him, and were a part of making history. Yippee. But now they will have to top this story. They did it to Senator John McCain. Remember early in the primaries how they loved him. The moderate republican who was most in line with their leftist views. They got him nominated. "We did it!", they shouted. But once the real campaign started, they chewed McCain up and spit him out. In time, they will do it to Obama, too. Another doormat? Maybe. John McCain's integrity had him stand up and take it like a man. What will Obama do?

In conclusion, we have people (and media) using whatever means to serve their own interest at the time. They have no regard for the humanity with which they interact. They want to leave their mark on the world and be a part of the history--no matter what.

Its a damn shame.
