A New Birth of Smokin' Hope!

It's been almost a year since I blogged about the bozo that's now our president. I tried, for a while after the election, to be hopeful and to set aside my dislike of the guy and his ideas. I attended the Inauguration, and heard from the speech some positive things. I was still hopeful.

Now I'm not. I'm watching a president wield power as we've not seen before; I'm watching him discard campaign promises like a frat boy sheds college girls after they give up some skin; and I'm cringing as Congress and the White House work their hardest to put us on the road to long-term fiscal and economic collapse.

If I were really nutty, I'd call it a massive conspiracy, or at least a 'master plan' on the part of our Dear Leader. If the market collapses...if people enough people are destitute and desparate...and if everything but government is blamed, then only government will have the credibility to step in and right all the wrongs in society. Obama wants to remake America -- he's said that. I just didn't think it would be in Marx's image.
