Random Thoughts- A new President, among other things...

...I can't help but be stunned at the treatment the outgoing President Bush and VP Cheney have been and are receiving. All one has to do is remember seven and a half years ago, how we rallied around his leadership, his comfort and his resolve, and came together as a nation...

While I am one hundred thousand percent behind the idea of electing an African American as President, and perhaps very soon, a woman as President, my problem is that Barack Obama was NOT the most deserving of this honor. When Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball, those involved searched for YEARS for just the right player- a person who not only had baseball talent, but had the wherewithall to stand up to the abuse from fans as well as players and teammates. They made the right choice. While Obama has the personality to be a "superstar" in politics, he hardly has the resume and experience...

Take this to the bank- Harry Reid will be forced out of his leadership due to scandal after scandal. He's as dirty as they come...Maybe it's because I live in Hollywood and I'm more exposed to it than most of y'all, but I am sick of the Hollywood "elite", "A-list" or whatever you want to call them. These phonies (Demi, Ashton, Cameron Diaz, Courtney and David, Will.i.am, and a host of others) did a commercial "pledging" how they will help "America change, and be part of the change" that Obama promised. Keep in mind, these phonies are the ones captured on camera smoking illegal substances, drinking and driving, bouncing from bed to bed and overall just being A-holes, not A-listers. Not to mention none of them have made a movie in 10 years that was worth the price of admission to see. Why not just "pledge" to yourself to make a decent movie, work on your craft, keep your clothes on and your legs together and shut your pie hole? Yeah, I said it...

Joe Biden, VP. Remember, in 1988 he was shamed from continuing his campaign because of plagerizing speeches, then denying it for so long, only to come clean later. Now THERE'S a Vice President of integrity we can all get behind...

Personally, I hope Barack does well- he is charming and quite easy to like. He may not even be as liberal as I fear he is. He is in great shape, has fantastic kids, is a great role model as a Dad, and an unequalled orator. He just has to surround himself with the political dregs of society as they attempt to cash in on his presidency, and this makes me sad...
