I'm feeling cynical.
This isn't me. I'm not usually like this. I'm a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. I'm not sure what led to this but it's lasted for two days now. I was going to wait until it passed before I wrote another blog, but I need to write, so screw it, you're getting my cynicism now.
So what should I write about? Politics?
Sure, why not. Let me give you my cynical assessment of the upcoming Obama Presidency, using a simple formula:
A) I'll list something Obama promised but won't deliver.
B) I'll list how the Obama-worshiping press will cover it
and
C) I'll explain how the press would have covered it if McCain had won and broken the same promises.
1) WITHDRAWAL FROM IRAQ
A) Obama will not withdraw troops from Iraq within 16 months of taking office.
B) "President Obama listened thoughtfully to his military advisors, and, putting his ego aside, acted upon their sage advice and wisdom."
C) "President McCain broke the very promise upon which his entire campaign was initially built."
2) TAX INCREASE
A) Obama will not immediately impose a tax increase on those making over $250K a year.
B) "President Obama has delayed his plan to raise taxes on those making over $250K a year, to allow time for his stellar team of economic advisors to assess the economic conditions before making any drastic changes to the nation's tax code."
C) "McCain extends tax cuts for the rich."
3) UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE
A) Obama will fail to implement a Universal Health Care plan.
B) "President Obama has wisely decided that this is not the proper time for our nation to shift such a large segment of its economic base from the private sector into the public sector."
C) "McCain denies Health Care to children, women, and minorities."
Feh. President Obama. This will be one of the worst one-term Presidencies we've ever had. I don't what I'm more cynical about- Obama's pending four-year failure, or the four years of Romney or Palin that will follow.
I know, I'm a cynic. I already told you that.

holy crap that picture is so freaky. take it down now.
i heart obama.
you should get a job writing for the press. seriously. you already know the mindset and have the literary spin to boot.
and believe it or not, i'm still sans computer. got the laptop, but no access to my pics. i'm not happy about it. i may have to catch your bday NEXT YEAR.
jeeze.
holy crap, the picture is still up.
i told you to take it down.
You are awfully optimistic thinking that Obama will be in for one term. Clinton served for eight years even amongst a plethora of scandal. I think Obama would have to align himself with Osama to not get re-elected, and even then it might be spun in such a way that it would be deemed a good move for our country.
If it makes you feel better I've thought for a long time that you were a cynic. ;)
But I agree with about how the media would spin it.
holy crap that picture is as bad as the first. the only thing missing is a snotty "i voted" sticker in the center of your forehead.
