One thing nobody can deny.

Without a doubt, Barack Obama looks significantly more badass than presidents of old when sitting in the Oval Office. Along these lines, I think he should negotiate everything from free trade agreements to disarmament policy in the Oval Office. Just invite the folks in to have a seat and then start laying it out exactly how it is going to go down. I know I wouldn’t be able to say no, and I consider myself at least an expert on all things relating to the White House, foreign relations and military operations (note sarcasm). 

Front page news on the New York Times is Hillary Clinton reporting to work at Foggy Bottom. Two things: Foggy Bottom is an absolutely hilarious monicker for a geographic location. Secondly, congratulations Hillary. You accomplished what 150 million Americans accomplish every day: they get out of bed and go to work.

Slumdog Millionaire received 10 Oscar Nominations. Thats really cool; but if In Bruges doesn’t win Best Original Screenplay I will be more than slightly aggravated. This kind of unpleasantness should not be opened upon the world.

Last note: there is an open debate about the banking situation, which is far more widespread and critically crucial to the economic survival of the United States and her allies than any other problem we are facing today. We can take some serious action in reforming the system or cross our fingers and hope King Obama’s team of wiz-kids can make it all go away. 

My fingers are crossed, but if Obama’s team can actually put some solvency into the U.S. system I’ll do my ‘King Obama’ dance. I’m starting my practice sessions already. And believe me, you’ll really want to see it.

Inauguration: All Hail the King!

A great day to re-boot a blog: the day after the inauguration of a new president. Not only will President Barack Obama cure all of our economic woes, he will also allow all of us to feel pure euphoria, unfettered joy and teach us all to dance. This obviously in addition to fixing all of our problems internationally and a banking system that is exploding inward and outward at the same time. Don’t get me wrong, not only do I believe King Obama will accomplish all the above, I fully believe he has the ability to singlehandedly eliminate racism, poverty, cuts suffered from shaving while half asleep in the morning and be present at my nephews birthday party. 

On the flip side, say goodbye to Bush & Co.
