"Please, Won't You Please, Love Us Again?"

News has broken out on all forms of media lately about the joy over the results of Obama’s recent victory in the election.   Newspaper headlines have screamed that “change is here”.  Television has shown scores of cheering Obama supporters celebrating in the streets.  Hollywood celebrities, from actors, to singers, to talk show hosts, have gushed over their admiration for the new President-elect. 
 
The “Today Show” even ran a segment this morning on the joyous reactions of not only Americans here, but those living abroad in Europe as well.  Some claimed that they no longer had to “feel ashamed” or “embarrassed” to declare themselves American.  One tourist even quipped that she didn’t have to pretend to be a Canadian anymore.  Click here to see video of more reactions from msnbc.com:

At the recent MTV Europe Music Awards held in Liverpool, England, American singer Katy Perry, who hosted the event wearing a shirt with Obama’s image, even quipped to a cheering European audience “Maybe now, Europe will love us again.”

Europe will love us again?  Is this really what it’s all about to Americans now?  Have we really sunk this low?  Are we so desperate to be liked by the world that we’ve willingly chosen an untested, unproven, inexperienced politician with an openly Marxist theology just to win the rest of the world’s favor? 

We've just became that kid on the playground who went from being the one to who the other kids would naturally follow, to the one that would be so desperate for acceptance, he would be willing to hurt himself just to gain their approval.   Well folks, we’ve just hurt ourselves in a major way. 

My message to Americans; here’s the dirty little secret… Europeans still don’t love you.  They love our new, upcoming, eager to please them, Socialist style government, yes, but not you.  They will still snicker at you behind your backs.  They will still lampoon you as the nosy, fat, loud, ugly, lazy, gum-chewing, baseball cap and sneakers wearing Americans as they have for years. 

Here’s a fun fact; in a poll taken some time back, 53% of these Europeans said that they wanted to see America in a much weaker global role.  Also, if they could vote in our elections, 83% would have voted for Obama.  Weaker role… vote for Obama… I’ll let you draw your own conclusions. 

Obama supporters… do you honestly believe that the Europeans, or the Russians, or Chinese, etc., really give a damn what you think about them?  Do you think that they run their lives based on our opinions of them?  The short answer is… no, and we shouldn’t care about their opinions either.

Now, my message to the European Obama lovers; enjoy it now while you can.  While we may have temporarily lost our senses and discarded an experienced, tried and tested leader (even if he wasn’t the most ideal candidate, for many of us) and hurt ourselves by voting for a pretender, it won’t last forever.  We who have opposed Obama, and others like him, will eventually re-gather ourselves.  We will learn from our mistakes.   America will rise again, not because of Obama as you might think, but despite of Obama. 

If there’s one thing that this election has taught us conservatives, is that we’ve grown far too complacent with not only our freedoms, but in our dealings with the liberals.  We’re going to have at least four years to reflect on that, to remember why we became conservatives, and we WILL correct our mistakes in future elections.  In a strange way, maybe having Obama in power to remind us who we are will be the best thing that ever happened to us.

"Keep Your Friends Far, Far Away"

 

Obama once stated that he “chose his friends carefully”. Well, seeing as all of his friends, from his college days to current, all have had radical or questionable ideals, I can believe that. He certainly didn’t pick them at random. 

Now, however, Obama’s newest friends are picking him. One such new friend is our old buddy, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the man who compared Israel to “a stinking corpse” and asked his listeners to “imagine a world without America”, all with a nice, big smile on his face.

Ahmadinejad (who I will refer to as “AJ” from this point on to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.), who congratulated Obama after his election win, stated that he hoped Obama will “use the opportunity to serve the (American) people and leave a good name for history". He also claimed he was looking forward to the replacement of Bush’s “warmongering” policies with “an approach based on justice and respect, as well as lack of intervention in the affairs of others."

Wow! Do you think McCain would’ve received such an endorsement? No sir, you have to be a special President-elect like Obama to get one of these from AJ! I think we can expect Obama to receive more new friends from all around world soon. Leaders from the EU, Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela, and all over the radical parts of the Middle East, will be falling over themselves to be Obama’s new friend. McCain could never have hoped to have been given such an honor. Poor guy.

Then again, I could be wrong. They could also be sharks smelling blood, heading for the world's greatest feeding frenzy.

"Maybe Hillary Would've Been Better"

So… have you all heard the latest Joe Biden gaffe? Would you like to know what it is?  I’d love to tell you, but I can’t, since I haven't heard any. 

You see, Biden, our source of never ending comedy and all around merriment, has been “muzzled” by the Democratic campaign. To no one’s surprise, Biden was doing more harm than good for Obama. Well, good for us McCain supporters, but not for him. Imagine the following scenario taking place in Obama’s campaign office:

“Um… Joe? We uh… we need to talk.”

“Yes, chosen one?”

“I heard about the uh… um… you know that speech you made about me uh… being tested within six uh… six months?”

“Yes, chosen one, what about it?”

“Well, uh, I have to tell you, um… Joe. I’m at a… uh, at a loss for words here.” (Really, he was. Insert teleprompter joke here.)

“Joe, we… uh… we need you to… uh…that is, not to… uh… not to talk about… well…uh, anything… anymore... ever. Because, uh, if you DO, w-w-w-we’re gonna lose this thing.”

This is before the campaign has even ended. If these two can’t even communicate effectively with each other during the campaign, just imagine what it’s going to be like if they’re elected. Just imagine at least four years of Biden contradicting what Obama says. He can’t muzzle him forever. What happens when Obama, sitting down to talk to rogue leaders without pre-conditions, is contradicted by something Biden tells them later? Just imagine all the global hijinx and hilarity that will ensue.

Well, actually, no… I’d rather not.
