Today we are all Obamiacs.
Let's give him a chance.
It may be that Pres. Obama can use his great popularity to accomplish things for the grassroots in business and politics a Republican could never have.
We'll see.

Not all -- yet.
ReplyDeleteWhen everyone is X-iac,
it is the worst type of tyranny.
Are there moments that we are all, except perhaps the most cynical, united in hope?
ReplyDeleteThe birth of a child, a sunrise, a new administration would seem to be such moments to me.
John,
ReplyDeleteIt never occurred to me to put birth of a child, sunrise and change in administration of any sort into the same row.
If hopes to be entertained at all,
they should not be vested into a political institution. Whenever masses of people vested hopes for a better life into a political institution, they were exploited by that institution -- in the best case scenario.
There are times for hope and times for criticism in every part of life.
ReplyDeleteWhy wouldn't the birth of a child, a sunrise, and the start of a new administration (or business, or friendship, or conversation) be a valid set, with hope as the common feature?
Problem comes when there is ONLY hope. Hope without action is dead.
