One of the questions making the rounds today is “Obama won…now what?” Quite simply the economy is in shambles and likely to get worse before it gets better. Moreover, much of the agenda outlined by the new President-Elect during the campaign will have to be tabled for at least a little while. Obama even admitted as much himself, and not just in the past few days either. He said so as early as mid-September, when he was interviewed by 60 Minutes.
Apparently it's been a while since I was here, that is, if the "1" activity rating is a true indicator. Duly shamed, I will step up my activity and start showing up here more often (or in my neighborhood, local Obama HQ, etc.)
This is too important and there's too much to do to not get busy.
It may not sound like much, but I will pledge from now through the Election to not let a week pass by without doing SOMETHING. I'm busy too, but even one little thing a week can make the difference.
For my first post I had hoped to write something a little upbeat, or perhaps, gloating about the way Barack Obama has left Hillary Clinton in the dust. But then today's news articles sounded a warning, one that should come as no surprise. Specifically it seems that after weeks of non-stop adulation from the press, the honeymoon with Barack Obama may be over for some journalists. Now that they've built up our candidate, it's time for them, at least some of them anyway, to do what so often is done by our media and start taking whacks at him. Some very pointed shots were fired across the bow this morning by Robert Samuelson in today's Washington Post. Read it here.
My reaction to this, though, is "so what?" And that's got me in a fighting mood.
