Buckle your seatbelts, kids. It's going to be a bumpy ride. We've got the complete socialist agenda on the table. But in a couple of ways, I'm ok with it.
For one, we'll see if giving the people what they want will really make them happy. I've heard comments from people on the street in the news like "now my rent and gas will be paid for". Yes! People really believe that they won't have to pay their bills now that Obama is President! Maybe they won't. Maybe we'll have to pay them instead.
The other reason I'm not totally bummed by this outcome is that a McCain win would have been the electoral equivalent to the Wall Street bailout. In other words, it would have just prolonged the agony of the slide toward socialism. And it would have slowed down the pendulum swing to the left. If it is ever going to swing back to a true constitutional republic, it has to complete it's momentum in the current direction.
I can't offer much more than that for solace, but there will be plenty to write about in the next 4 to 8 years. See ya around campus.
