Obamanation

The deed is done. The election is over and we will not have to live through any more political commercials for a while. We have once again showcased for the world how we roll. Peaceful, free elections(except for voter intimidation on the part of the black panthers in Philadelphia). Democracy at work. Come January, we will have a peaceful transfer of power.

The President elect was not my first choice. He wasn't my second choice either. Or third or 20th. But Obama is the President elect. He will be my President for the next four years.

This is an Historic moment in our Nation. I heard Juan Williams state "What an excellent role model for the young black community. As opposed to gangster rappers. Obama is educated, married and has 2 daughters, he dresses like a normal person and is successful." And this is true.

Having our First Black President in this nations history should disspell the myth that we are an overwhelmingly racist nation. This also goes to prove once again that anyone can grow up to be President in our fine country. If you do not succeed in this nation, it is because you chose not too. That is not to say that everyone who works at it will be rich and famous, but everyone has the ability to carve out a nice little niche for themselves.

We as Americans are promised the God given inalienable Rights of Life, Liberty and the Persuit of Happiness. How we chose to persue that is us to us as individuals.

I urge you all to keep in mind that "A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take everything you have." ~ atrributed to numerous speakers.

At the last minute I had a CHANGE of heart and voted for Barack Obama.

Ah, just kidding, almost had ya there didn't I?
No, I am not an Obama Girl.
I voted for NukeDad! He's right on foreign policy, the economy, he's right on the bailout.
Can't wait to see his acceptance speech! I'm gonna stay up late for that.

Don't Hold Your Breath

....waiting to see this skit on Saturday Night Live tonight, but I think it would be a riot.

Halloween With Barack Obama:
scene: Obama has organized a free party at the local community center for after children have finished trick or treating.

At the door he greets the kids along with Dick Durbin and Nancy Pelosi and starts to look inside the pillow cases at their haul of candy.

Then he informs the kids that they may keep 30% of the candy they have collected and he will be taking the rest. The kids start to resist, so Durbin holds them from behind as Pelosi takes the bag.

All the while Obama explains to the kids that we will all do better if he spreads the candy around. You know for the kids who didn't go trick or treating: The kids who were grounded, the kids who are too cool to wear a costume, or just don't feel like going out when the temperature falls below 60 f. This way everybody gets candy.

A little boy starts to protest "My brother is sick and I was going to share my candy with him. I walked for 3 hours in the cold and had practiced my good manners to get this candy." Obama replies "I will give candy to your brother too. But I can make sure the candy gets better distributed. All he has to do is come wait in line with all the non trick or treating kids and we will give him a coupon for an amount of candy I deem to be appropriate.

The boy throws a crying fit, kicks Obama in the shin and is carried out, sans candy, by the secret service.

Now that would be funny!

Flat Weasel Momma is visiting BadMomma after a stint with BusyDad( She must have been a real handful while there because BusyDad still hasn't been able to talk about it). But last night she went trick or treating, in costume with the BadMomma gang. Pics and everything are up, so go check it out.
