Well Its Over and We've Only Just Begun

Just like everyone else has noted particularly on the ten trillion other blogs done by people who think their every regurgitated thought actually matters ... the election process stage of our democratic process may have been completed last night. I say "may have" because when I went to sleep some super geek analyst buried in the basement of CNN / NBC / ABC / CBS declared that certain states were in the Red Column and when I woke up they had turned Blue with cold. This may be due to the phenomena that occurs in some school and Congressional elections ... also referred to as the "do over", once it is apparent who the winner is going to be ... those with no backbone of their convictions go back and "adjust" their vote and suddenly wallah they have also voted for the winner. Or it may have been that the wonderful confusing formula used to declare the winner with .005% of the votes in turned out to be wrong. Oh well, it did not change much except, when will they actually count all 105% of the votes cast?

Now I do not want to sound like a bitter old rambling man ... of course I am not bitter. To be bitter would be to jump to the conclusion that man of my choice which yes I am willing to admit that I was not part of the 'NEW WORLD DAWNING ... THERE WILL BE HOPE FOR SOMETHING ... WE CAN ALL BE FRIENDS" era that has begun. You still got to be impressed how uncritical the press was last night. It was like they were all trying to get in there praises so they will be invited to the right inauguration party or something.

"It’s fantastic news; great for the U.S., great for the world – just an absolute milestone in history," 41-year-old Londoner Jamie Davies said as he sipped a coffee from Starbucks before heading to work. ... yes a guy drinking $4 cup of coffee is happy about Obama ... surprise ... surprise.

Lets understand this ... happy is the day it will be when George W. Bush and Dick Cheney can add the words FORMER to their titles. The world will be a better place regardless of whoever would have moved into the White House, that is clear.

We now await the reality part of our show as opposed to the foggy, "trust me" part of the show.

You know the "trust me" part that 349 electoral votes swallowed like a fine single malt scotch ... I, a black non black man from somewhere, will bring you hope and good cheer and world peace and a better, cleaner, safer, less taxing except for the rich people, smarter, nicer place ... yes those delicious words and sweet sentiments which brought us to this stage. They were tasty words considering the last eight years of gruel for words. Don't forget that the incoming man certainly understands the internet and new technology and how to con, I mean encourage, a lot of people to give $87 and be part of the wave. I mean how can a person govern if they can not surf the net ... hogwash.

Now comes that hard part ... turning all those vague promises into legislature. Unfortunately for the new president, he will have to work with a Democratic party that dominates Congress. The extreme liberal wing of which he is a proud member started salivating last night around 11:00 EST. The Congress is there standing clearly in front of and planning to put forth its own agenda because the intelligent agenda be dammed we will have excessive liberalness for breakfast, lunch and dinner and you will like it because this is their day.

Remember, winning an election is not the real challenge. Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush proved that. It is governing that matters. Last night was historic but history is a funny thing. Six months from now the first black historic president will actually have to steer the ship. Please Lord help him and protect us from Congress.
