Good Morning America!

.
You are a day older and a century wiser... Well, the wiser may be an overstatement, why, with all the things going on in the world today, the wiser part may be a bit in question. But we have made some progress, I must admit. We have... we have... we have no more Bush at the White House! Boy, what eight years those were... I was depressed for about four or five days the day he was re-elected into office on November 2004, really, I couldn't believe that a little over half the American people had fallen for that liar, bastard again. What a waste of eight years those were, huh? But I cheer up, sortta, thinking we have a new and improved Democrat President who has done very little for the Country so far, but I forgive him because I keep reminding myself that Obama inherited a super broken office that will take a while to repair and then improve. I'm hopeful. Obama is still in the repair mode, you cannot fix eight years of broken laws and (de)regulations in one or two years. In many aspects of the White House administration the damage is still hidden, and we are, little by little, discovering more and more things (and people) that need to be replaced or fixed.

Yes, we have a hole at the bottom of the Gulf that needs to be plugged, a hole I must admit that happened because the Bush deregulations allowed BP to get away without proper security methods in place. It's a catastrophe the likes of which we have never seen before, and which we have no idea how to repair... at least not yet. All the while the BP oil people, the friends of the Bush oil people, are constantly lying about, thus Obama has had a double problem: distilling the lies from the truth and learning how to do something never done before -- actually something never expected to happen at all!

We have a recession that also began during the Bush administration and also caused by Bush's deregulating the banks. Obama inherited a super deficit and an unemployment rate too big and getting bigger and no way to stop it. It's a miracle that he, Obama, has been able to, at least, stop that rate from growing any higher.

Then there are the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, also a Bush inheritance that need not have been there to begin with. If Bush had stayed in Afghanistan, the situation would have been resolved already -- the real "Mission Accomplished" would have been really accomplished already; but Bush had to go into Iraq -- why? Heavens only know... oil, money, greed, prestige to have brought "democracy" into the Muslim world? On this, only Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz and Karl Rove know the real reason for telling the American people such a bunch of lies and removing the troops from Afghanistan where they were badly needed and going into an unnecessary war that, yes, it brought some minimal resemblance of democratic stability, if you consider a good thing that Hamas won the election in Gaza; Hezbollah won in Lebanon; the Iranian backed Sunnis won in Iraq; Egypt pretended they had a "fair and balanced" election; and Afghanistan did the same type of democratic elections Bush did on November 2000 in America: manipulating the system and stealing the votes.

It is a real miracle that Obama was able to pass the Health Care bill, of which I understand very little about; but which I hope is a good thing for all of us. And another miracle that there is Gay acceptance in matrimony in various States of the Union; and that "don't ask, don't tell" is being considered for removal; and that several terrorist attacks have been prevented on American soil; and that we are still alive and well and smiling and shopping and saving and celebrating 234 years of a relatively young Country that is still learning how to live with a bunch of 100% negative republicans -- the party of "if Obama wants it, we say NO! to it."

Yes America, we are a day older and a century... well, you know the facts and you know that (slow) progress is being made, and that we remain hopeful that things will continue to improve, and that Obama will learn to be a bit more assertive, and that...........

And We Can Still LAUGH AT OURSELVES!!!


GOOD MORNING AMERICA!
