Well, folks. Everybody should be more or less happy, now. We’ve got a good prez in the White House, we presume, and we’ve got a congress that ought to be able to work with him and his programs, and vice versa.
Will it mean an immediate end to the war? Not likely.
Will the economy recover in a few months? No.
Can he undo all the evil that George is leaving behind? Probably not.
But he is a very smart guy with a liberal bent (not really a radical socialist) who the world respects and who might actually BE a “uniter” this time around. If he picks good people as advisors and staff, this really could be one for the history books. He will be challenged, we may have another terror attack, but he is even-tempered enough and smart enough to figure out a response that will not cripple us or piss off half the world’s population. He will likely focus on domestic recovery for everyone, not just the bankers.
So now all the pundits can speculate on what will really be done. That’ll keep their jobs for a while, but we have to wait and see after the inauguration what really happens. In the meantime, let’s hope that GW doesn’t undo too many more environmental regulations, commit to further Iraq entanglements, or issue too many pardons to his henchmen (and himself) as he leaves office.
At least we won’t have a 4 yr. extension of Bush policy. Thank you Sarah Palin! You couldn’t have shown up at a better time.
