Maybe this is what you’re missing, Jimmy. I’m assuming that you got this whole “worshipping Obama” meme on your own and didn’t download it from the Axis of Anal. And assuming you’re not just being a dick for the sheer hell of it, and sincerely believe you’re making a point.
A lot of us really, really like Obama. That’s a fact, I do too, I’ve even forgiven him for being smarter than me and having a wife who scorches footprints in the sidewalk when she barefoots. But he wasn’t my pick, I didn’t think he could do it, too many strikes against him before he even got to the plate. I underestimated my fellow citizens, I was alread gritting my teeth getting ready to vote for Hillary, who I cannot stand!
But something has happened here, something pretty darn amazing, especially to a pessimist like myself. He won. Handily. We are, it appears, a much more open and intelligent people than I had thought! I’lll stop short of “Hallelujah!” but its definitely worth a “Yeeee-haw!”
Its not even that he is so wonderful, but now I’m not waking up every morning like I have for loathe, these many years, worrying what the fuck that half-wit goober in the White House was gonna fuck up today!
That’s huge! It feels real good when they stop hitting you in the head with a hammer every damn morning! Real good!
He’s just a man, and far too centrist for my taste. But he’s a smart man, and a decent man, and, Lord God, but that’s an improvement! Are you old enough to remember when Nixon bit the dust? Remember how Gerald Ford was widely appreciated and admired, just because of who he wasn’t?
Its kinda like that. So maybe cut a little slack, OK, podnuh? And if you got something to actually bitch about, bitch away! But its pretty small to be bellyaching about how much people like him, don’t you think? Or don’t you?
