Call me a cynical English bastard, but my opinion of Obama is plummeting..
First there was his policy of banning lobbyists. His inauguration ceremony is being broadcast using exclusively microsoft silverlight. mmm, suck that lobbyist cock.
He set up "change.gov" with his list of changes.. that list has been getting mysteriously shorter.. Not because of Obama, more to the point of the fact that after only 4 years in government, he's finally finding out the fact that a president has fuck all power when the party disagrees with him.
He's already sounding like JFK.. the messiah of American politics. 3 years later, he's done fuck all (due to party differences) except shag an A-list celebrity and get assassinated.
As for A-lists.. Bruce Springsteen, U2 and Beyonce (fur-wearing) Knowles?!!?!!? Even George Bush had a more modest ceremony before he signed in and proceeded to blow half the planet up.
And he's taking train rides from Philadelphia. Obama mate.. You're not even in power yet. You sign in tomorrow. First, PROVE YOURSELF as a good president, THEN start comparing yourself to Lincoln..
Jesus.. God help Joe Biden who's got to take his rhetoric and actually use his experience to make Obama's messianic rhetoric reality, otherwise this will be the most ineffectual presidency ever.
And the republicans will use the U2 shit against him BIG TIME in 4 years.
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot before you ever got into office.
Do your fucking job Obama.. I don't envy you.. you have to wake up to a failed economy, 2 wars, and a middle east that hates you. Good luck. Welcome to the real world.
I mean the "good luck" bit by the way. I sure as hell hope you get this right.
