Last pre-obama day

OK, I get it . . . the obamessiah takes the the big white house tomorrow – bringing hope/change/peace on earth/a new tone/bipartisanship/blah-blah…  For all you ultra-leftists out there, a small warning – we never quite get what we want in a President.  However, if you squint hard enough, the President you voted for can actually DO almost exactly what the previous hated President did, and you’ll still love your guy and hate Bush. Quite funny actually.

Here’s a small sample of how a maniacal hatred for actions and ideas of one person/party can evaporate if your your preferred person/party does the same thing:

Bush spent $40 million on his inauguration during war time = Bush is wasteful and wants you poor. Obama spent $170 million for his big party during war time = Obama is sharing history with others.

Bush indicates that closing Gitmo difficult = Bush is a torture-loving fascist. Obama says closing Gitmo difficult = Obama is an agent of righteous change.

Bush says FISA necessary = Bush is a nazi. Obama says FISA necessary = Obama is a paragon of virtue.

Bush says we need to stay in Iraq = Bush is a tyrant. Obama says we need to stay in Iraq = Obama is the bringer of peace and light.

Enquiring into Obama’s relationships with Bill Ayers = Privacy is the primary concern. Enquiring into Sarah Palin’s birth of her son Trig = Full disclosure is the primary concern.

Being a liberal is so much easier than thinking.  Oh well, I guess I’m cursed to be a conservative/libertarian.
