So many emotions.

ambitious_wenchI'm trying so hard not to fall into thinking of Obama in messianic terms; Nor do I want to reduce him to a mythic figure, the Magic Negro of American literary myth.
But damn, as Jon Stewart put it, when Obama speaks, an angel has an orgasm.
I'm trying hard to view him objectively, to see what he does; to keep that cynic in me alive a little bit.
Is it true the msm is in love with him? If it is, can you blame them?
On the other hand, I note that no MSM sources I use have actually come out and said anything about the likelihood of assassination. We're all thinking it. No one wants to talk about it. Are we afraid of the remnants of the Bush regime, coming down on us, visits from Men In Black? Let's face it; There are nutzoids out there that want this man and all he stands for dead. How long before the gunshot rings out?
I'm so terrified it'll happen tomorrow. That as he steps up to take the oath of office, a shot will ring out, and before he even has a chance, he'll be dead.
I bet Michelle is terrified, too. I bet Barack hugged his little girls tight, kissed them fondly, and tucked them into bed as if it were the last time.
I'm not predicting his death. I'm speaking my fears. If that brings the Men in Black to my door, so be it.
"In the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope".

It's easy to loose sight, period, after what we've been through.

I don't envy him this job. Why would anyone want to come in after the last 8 years and try to fix this mess is beyond me.
