A black man from Hawaii who trekked through Harvard and settled in Chicago will be residing in Washington, D.C. at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.America has come full circle and finally grown up. Well, most Americans have grown up.
Today is Barack Obama’s day…as it should be.
However, my message today is directed towards the 10 percent of you ideologues on the far right and the far left.
My message to you…Suck it up and get the hell over it.
To those of you on the way out right, Obama is not Satan.
He is not a Manchurian Candidate manufactured by Al Qaida that will bring our nation to its knees.
President Obama is not a lapdog for Arabs, blacks, or domestic terrorists. He will not try to convert your children to Islam.
He's not going to try to revoke the Second Amendment and take away your Smith and Wesson dick extension.
Well, to you I say...In between watching re-runs of Dukes of Hazzard, waiting for the reincarnation of Jefferson Davis, and sucking back some Budweisers…
Why don’t you get off your ass, love your children, and when you go to praise Jeebus on Sundays remember what Martin Luther King, Jr. once said:
“The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: "If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?" But... the good Samaritan reversed the question: "If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?"”
Let go of your prejudices Mr. and Mrs. Jughead, and start thinking outside of your double-wide trailor that is full of six kids in diapers and 3,000 conspiracy theories.
Getting this country out of the doldrums of our economic plight will require more than Obama. Obama is a smart and decent guy, but he needs the help of all of us.
Nuff’ said to you guys…And now to you out there on the far left. I proudly call myself a Liberal, but I share something with Barack Obama…
Much like the O-Man himself, I am first and foremost, realistic…thoughtful…pragmatic.
Don’t expect Obama to part the Mississippi River and deliver us all to the Promised Land.
Three months into his term, mortgages will not be paid, jobs won’t miraculously appear, and he will not change the name of fish to, Sea Kittens. And, as I told the far right, he's not going to, nor should he, take everyone's gun away. Deal with it.
And, our troops? Due to the the sheer logistics of things, they will still be in Iraq for a couple of years to come.
You want our troops home; Obama wants our troops home, but unless Captain Kirk shows up with the USS Enterprise, it’s going to take some time.
I know that you want it your way or no way, but now is the time to give a little here and there on some issues.
Keep in mind what Lady Astor once said:
"The main dangers in this life are the people who want to change everything or nothing."
I have every confidence that Obama will work his damndest to make us a better nation and try to perfect this union, but one man is, but one man.
You too, like your brothers and sisters that are diametrically opposed to you, need to put away the hankies and think about the nation as a whole.
With that being said, I would like to leave you all with a couple of inaugural themed pictures…
Yo, Jill Biden...I know your hubby is a heartbeat away from the Presidency, but when he's off attending the funerals of third world dictators...
How about meeting me in my bedroom and being a heartbeat away from the Matt-Man? Purrrrrr...
Oh yeah, I'm diggin' this. Buh-Bye, Dubya!!
Good Luck, President Obama. I'm gonna make fun of you, but I'm wishing you the best of luck. Godspeed, my good man.
Cheers!!
