In a previous post, I lauded what I was so sure would be a sweeping sea change via Obama’s rise to power based on a few assumptions, the greatest of which I believed was his inevitable good-will-driven momentum. Unfortunately there are a few factors blocking his mandate, and they’re all republican.

It’s too bad, because Obama has been far more post-partisan than most liberals would have liked. Republicans could have had it much, much worse; with any other party-line Democrat steamrolling through with a stimulus package minus ANY tax cuts or ANY other Right-wing appeasements. I’ve been hearing some rhetoric from the moment Obama’s victory seemed inevitable that points to either an underestimation of Obama’s toughness or, frankly, hubristic racism. Republicans seem either unable or unwilling to hear their white-male fraternity’s swansong. I guess we have to just wait for them to die, or 2010, whichever comes first, to get a damned thing done in this country.

Did anyone else hear the whole “wait-and-see” commentary applied to Obama during the campaign? Considering his intelligence, education, character, and yes, community organization, such drivel as “let’s give him a chance” is not only exceedingly condescending, it ignores our country’s sad recent history of electing the largest dumbass idiot of the Earth TWICE.

And now, with this man’s awesome presence in office, the douchebags-on-diapers with their perma-frowns carved with poorly-worn age into the sides of their mouths treat Obam-adonis (and any other rationally-minded commentator, for that matter) like an ignorant child. Did these geriatrical has-beens SEE the throngs of people who froze their ass off to see Obama be tasked with whipping old white Metamucilians like them into shape? Do they ever look in a mirror?

I hope the recent Republican block of Obama’s proposed DTV delay doesn’t keep too many disadvantaged Americans from watching this display of arrogance play out live. These old blobs need to realize who’s boss. Their worst fears have come true: the young, the quick, and the black now reign over their sorry old pasty souls. They’d better suck up their sloppy jowls and get used to it, because misogyny, et. al. doesn’t look good on YouTube.
