Unfounded Random thoughts after midnight

First of all, these sodahead.com ads from google piss me off. Most are nothing more than inflamatory troll bait. They make money for the site, (I clicked a few because they got my attention) and I want to keep them, but I don't have to like them.

I'm afraid that lots of folks voted for Obama because they believe what he says, because he fills them with hope for positive change, because he is an excellent speaker and seems more like a human being (almost Kennedy like) and less like a filthy politician... Even I want to like him, and I don't trust ANY politician.

But even an attractive prostitute is still a prostitute

I don't see how he can actually deliver on the promises he has made. I can only imagine the huge number of favors he owes for all the money he raised. Lots of folks own a piece of that man and he is going to be spending a lot of the next 4 years doing folks favors now that he has made it to the top. This is true of all presidents I'm sure. But more money means more favors...

He wants to make goverment bigger to fix problems, When was the last time more beauracracy fixed a problem?

I believe that Obama is like all politicians, and the only color he cares about is green. I don't know how his African American supporters will feel when they see their great hope turn out to be like all the rest. At a Chicago rally  I saw women crying, half collapsed with faces full of emotion, hope, joy, and disbelief. Their hope for the future had won the  presidency, Now things would start to change for the better.

However, there is an entire political system already in place that will resist change. For better or worse his attempts will be greatly slowed.People have a lot of themselves tied to Obama. When he lets them down...what then?

He has a lot of dreams, I fear that reality is going to slam him (and us) hard. There is a reason being president ages people so much.

I don't think there was a right or wrong person to vote for this time around.

On the plus side, voter turnout was up, folks are getting engaged in their goverment, even if it was for just for a short while..

And yes I did vote, then I went home and took a shower.
