Random thoughts that built up during a week in DU "jail"

[scheming daemons]

- RIP Reaganomics, 1981-2008

- Sarah Palin scares the bejeesus out of me. She's the target demographic for the "Left Behind" novels. I bet she owns every one of them. She makes Bush look like a freaking atheist.

- Obama looked like a President again last night. McCain looked like a grouchy old retirement community organizer.

- McCain's plan to have the government basically buy every mortgage-defaulter their house has got to have conservatives in this country needing extra duct tape to keep their heads from exploding.

- McCain: "Healthcare is a responsibility." Obama: "Healthcare is a right." Devastating loss for McCain on that issue, especially among women.

- Our grandchildren will read in their history books that Barack Obama became the 44th president on September 15, 2008. That morning Lehman Brothers... a bank that survived a civil war, a depression, two world wars, a cold war, and several oil crises... went bankrupt. Their failure began the nosedive to the "Great Recession of 2008-09". At 9am, John McCain uttered the words... "the fundamentals of the economy are strong." Barack Obama became President at that moment.

- Sarah Palin will run for the GOP nomination in 2012... but she won't win it. Even the GOP hardcores will be tired of her by then.

- Barack Obama will be the equivalent of a NFL football coach taking over a team that just went 0-16 the previous season. It's a great opportunity for him. If he goes 4-12, he is doing well. If he goes 8-8, he'll be a hero. If he goes 10-6 and makes the playoffs, he'll be coach of the year. A new President will ALWAYS do better taking over during tough times. Nowhere to go but up. George W. Bush is the EASIEST act to follow in Presidential politics since James Buchanan.


That is all, for now....

2. What impresses me most about Senator Obama....

...is the team of professionals that he's putting together to govern the country. He will take advice from them and apply his area of expertise - Constitutional law - to the problems his administration will face. Indeed, the country will be in good, sober hands come January 20th.
