An Obama in Hand is Worth Two Republicans in the Bush

Expectations are so high for Obama that a local radio station is already conducting a poll:

“How long will it take Obama to turn the economy around?”

Oh, come on.

I’m thinking that he - or anyone - may never be able to turn the economy completely around.  Not in my lifetime, anyway.  We’ve buried ourselves deep.  We owe so much money to foreign countries, that if we could go bankrupt, we would.

The next thing I’m thinking is:

“Would we want to go back to being the way we were, anyway?”

Let’s think about it.

  • The rest of the world hates us. They didn’t just hate us, they hate us. But people around the world are starting to like Americans now.
  • The global economy is completely trashed.
  • The rich got richer and the middle class and poor got poorer.
  • Public Education Policy, Health Care Policy, Environmental Policy, and everyone’s 401k are totally mucked up.
  • Religion got even more powerful, and continues to infiltrate civic rights positions such as freedom of choice and gay marriage.

Who would want to go back to that?
