Pre-Inauguration Commentary
I've been watching some of the pre-Inauguration coverage this morning and, unfortunately, I spent a few minutes listening to MSNBC...I'm both disgusted and saddened at their continued, relentless and unabashed Bush-basing even to the last minutes of this administration. One of the "questions" from one of the female broadcasters was, "How do you think President Bush feels about seeing all these people and this mandate for change?" Hmmmm.....A nice objective question, not imposing any of her own ideas and ideals onto the President of the United States. Incidentally, Chris Matthews' answer to the question was, "What do they feel like? They're feeling like the Romonov's (the family that ruled Russia until the Russian Revolution...and then was RUN OUT of the country!) Mr. Matthews, watch your analogies, the Russian Revolution is not what's happening now. God forbid!
Now that their messiah is taking office, MSNBC will likely become even more irrelevant than it has been.

There's no use in trying to rewrite history. We all lived through it. We all remember the Bush years.
It's time to move on from your limited scope politics. If you aren't on board, then you will be left behind -- oh, wait, you all are hoping that everyone else gets left behind.
Inclusive politics tends to work. Just look at what happened in the last two elections.
If you haven't noticed, Raymond, Reagan is dead and his economic policies -- with help up until 2007 -- have proven to be extremely wrong-headed. There are real people making due with very little, but Reagan/Bush policies ignore them because nurturing the 5%ers is not what makes a country great -- it's working for the other 95%.
And that's the genius of Obama's plan. I know how much I make. Don't you? If you make more than $250K, he's not talking to you -- you are 5% of the population.
Us 95%ers hear him loud and clear.
And is the fact that King oBongo received more votes than John McCain proof that socialism works, despite the fact that more tens of millions of people have been murdered in the name of socialism than for any other ideology in human history? Is that still another example of liberal logic?
I think I will stick with free-market capitalism, since I love both freedom and geniuine economic prosperity.
