Fifty Six: The Anointing of BO

Here we go. I guess today is something between a royal coronation and religious installation, except that our Constitution is supposed to proscribe both of those types of practices in our politics. But since we are now governed by opinion polls instead of by laws, and since the mostly liberal media stands in judgment of us instead of our judiciary, a royally reliegious political ceremony is probably just about right.

Although he certainly doesn't need it, I actually have some pity for poor BO. As I said in an earlier post, he's got nowehre to go but down. He had his best days as president before he ever became president. My liberal friends always bring up JFK as an example of a president popular at the beginning and remaining so. But of course they miss the point that if JFK had not been assasinated, who knows what would have happened. I think, and many agree with me, that his popularity would have tanked.

BO is a bubble, just like the the dot-com bubble and the housing bubble. When the media finds out that BO is human, that he is not superman, that he has no discernible management skills, that he is not imbued with special ethics, or insights, or honesty, or morality, they will rush to condemn him as they now adore him. Poor guy.
