On the Inauguration
Jan. 19th, 2009 02:00 pmTomorrow.
Tomorrow, Bush ends and Obama begins.
Like millions, I am thrilled at this prospect.
However, I know full well that twelve minutes after Obama takes the oath there are going to be a ton of his 'former supporters' who are pissed as hell, disappointed, angry, or whatnot. Hell, I know of one person (who's reading this, but I won't identify him ;) ) who actually decided that he'd already disappointed him so much he had to scrape the damn bumper sticker off his car.
But. Let's give him a good night. Let's assume that for 24 hours, everyone's happy. C'est ca.
Countdown to "oh my God how could Obama do this to me/us/the world I thought he was different" stands at 46 hours, three minutes."
(My take on this was here, following the election. Dude. He's going to break your heart. He can't help it. That's what governance is all about, Charlie Brown. With luck, he'll be a good President anyway.)
