President Messiah, Send Me Money, Send Me Green, Heaven I Will Meet

History will be made in just a few hours with the first swearing in of a Baby Marxist into the oval office. Fortunately#44, like all presidents I can think of, is a bright guy and will not attempt a Julian the Apostate type of administration. However, in the spirit of reducing expectations, I was disappointed in President-elect Barry today, claiming his plan would increase the solar generating capacity by the same percentage that reflects current predictions for growth. I was hoping for more honesty than that, but I can change.

I do not believe the economic plans Obama is currently proposing, and Bush has followed the past four months or more, will work. These types of Keynesian policies will fail as they have in the past and in other countries. Hopefully, if these failures come to pass, we will elect someone else and recover.

The real danger of his Ascent to the apex of Glory and Power is that he will follow in the footsteps of Lincoln and FDR. That is, he will take a currently very dangerous situation (Islam and/or the economy), misstep into a truly disastrous one, muddle through, consolidating power along the way, and walk away into the Pantheon.

The big religious experience going on in Washington right now does not make one confident in peoples' ability to take a step back and look at Obama's performance. It seems that more than a bubbling economy and the ability to meet life on their own terms, these fans want a President Messiah, and a President Messiah we may have. As an ancient priest moves the sun across the sky our President will move the economy and our nation.

Godspeed Barry, Godspeed. Just please don't get too carried away.

At least in Rome it was an appointment.
