Apathy They Name is Jennifer…
It isn’t just because McCain lost, I wasn’t invested in the old fart enough to have given a shit if he were inaugurated this week. Might have watched cuz of Palin, but probably just the highlights. I feel like I should give a shit, even if it is loathing and woe, but try as I might… nada. The big zero. I just do not give a shit. I could say, Obama is grossly under qualified for the job. Honestly though, McCain wouldn’t have been any different in the end. I could say, The Left is going to ruin the country. Nah, they are already on the way to that and a McCain win wouldn’t have slowed that bullet train down if he won. I just do not give a shit. I do not want Obama to fail, because even as dismal as things are these days with the leadership in this country they could most certainly get worse.
I have faith in pretty much no one elected at the moment, but then again that isn’t exactly a new feeling. I get most meh when I face the fact I have such little faith in the populous of this nation. The bad thing about the result of this election is not an unqualified man now the leader of what is left of the free world, it is the overwhelming stupidity of the nation who elected him. I know all my fellow conservatives feel pretty much the same when you boil it down to the bare essentials. People have gotten so remarkably stupid it is frightening and I think a vast majority of them should be sterilized to preserve what is left of what was once great about our way of life, but alas… we must all have dreams, no?
What can we do? In the immediate years? Not much. In the long term? We breed and raise kids who understand there is nothing in life for free. That you grow up, get a skill and make your own way. That taking a handout and/or bailout and the mentality that makes that seem alright is simply placing your hands infront of you and allowing shackles to be placed upon you. Teach them if you fuck up and someone is there to fix it all up for you without a price to think twice, there is always a price; usually one exponentially greater than the service rendered to you.
Short of that, I say we wall off Texas and take our chances annexing Mexico.
Have a great holiday!

Am I just ignorant, or apathetic?
I don’t know and I don’t care.

All the husband and I can muster up is an attitude that we will give Obama the benefit of a doubt, UNTIL he does something bad for the USA.
Sadly, that won’t take very long.
McCain was our 3rd choice after Fred Thompson, and Romney. Romney was in the race only 16 days between Fred leaving and Romney annoucing he was quitting also.
The potential for entertainment re: the Coronation….Opps, I mean Inauguration comes not from the swearing in, but from the inevitable bad behavior afterwards from million(s) of intoxicated Democrats.
Remember the bars in DC will be open till 5 am Wed. or something like that.
We’re keeping the popcorn handy.

I think I’ve gone through the whole spectrum of emotions since the election – excepting perhaps menopause and severe dementia. And I’m working on the latter.
I’ve decided to adopt an attitude of utter snark for the next four years. I will take nothing seriously about this Presidency. I mean – why should I? The One is either gonna solve all the worlds problems (not!) or fail miserably (probably).
Besides – The Biden-baiting is gonna be great. I just feel it in my bones. He’s gonna be better’n Quayle.

I’m with McGoo. I’m in the camp that Obama will neither be the Savior some think or the Disaster others think.
Biden, however, is sure to deliver comedy gold for the next 4 years. As a natural born smartass I can’t wait…..

I hear you… didn’t even watch today. I have no faith in Americans in general… we have turned into a feel good nation with any grasp of reality.

No one can live up to the billing being given this guy, even with a friendly media spinning for him.

Preach it sister. Totally agree. I actually watched break-dance YouTube videos during the inauguration. I felt irresponsible, but didn’t feel bad about feeling irresponsible…
Also, you have a bitchin’ name.
P.S. Are you familiar with the Smart Girl Politics Network? They are having a discussion at the hashtag #sgpball tonight… with different topic chats… I hope to pop in. There are details on their site: http://www.smartgirlpolitics.blogspot.com

I decided to tell my kids the truth….that only in a culture established by White Anglo Saxon Protestants could people be free enough to be stupid enough to ignore all that western culture has given them and opt for a pinko-commie, socialist bullshit, eco-weenie, quasi-euro-weenie sub-culture under the direction of a pathological narcissist (read fascist) who thinks he knows enough to run America because he’s a special semi-black man. WTF ever.
