things i do not hate, contrary to others beliefs: america, obama

this seems to be a conversation i've been having more often over the past couple of months than i'd like.

as the subject line says, i do not hate america. i do not hate obama. but just because i do not go around saying such does not mean it's true. or not true. i'm bad with double negatives.

today, i refused to see the inauguration, even though there was a big hullabaloo at work. it's been in my experience that, you see one inauguration, you've seen them all. (which is why i particularly liked these two comics.) i've lived through two bushes, a clinton, and a reagan. thanks. check please. also, i worked in newspapers for a large portion of my professional life, where it was mandatory that i do not let my political leanings public knowledge, since i was supposed to be a unbiased public watchdog.

that being said ... you know who i do really hate? the media. and the fervant obama supporters that now, because he's not leading a completely liberal agenda, are calling him out.

yeah. fuck you all.

firstly, let's get to the fervant obama supporters that now hate him. oh, he has a diverse cabinet. oh, he's thinking of everyone in america and not just one sect. omg! he's trying to represent all of america! every. single. person. whether they think what he does or not. how horrible? but he let some minister that doesn't support gay marriage talk at the inauguration. how dare he? you know what, not many ministers are known for their support of gay marriage or gays in general. how dare there be people who believe in something that other people don't? how dare they? you know, obama isn't hitler, right? and that he was voted president, not dictator, right? and that there's this thing called the first amendment? yeah. obama is trying to please everyone, democrat, republican, rich, poor, gay, straight, straights that only fuck trannies, etc. in short, he wants to represent america. now america, i know you're not used to that. but don't shit all over him just yet, ok? which leads into my next point ...

and secondly, to the media. can you give the guy a chance? i'm soooooo fucking tired hearing comparisons of obama to kennedy and lincoln. he's been president less than a day. let the guy fucking do something first. or, you know, let him do something to earn some merits and let him make a name for himself and not compare him to others? because you know who's going to get hurt more by this? you, dear media. you're setting yourself up for an extreme letdown when obama proves that he is human and indeed not magic. omg! when obama fucks something up, i can't wait to see the media react. because you know what, he will fuck something up. you know why? because EVERYONE fucks something up sometime. that's what makes up human. and, again, obama is fucking human. he doesn't turn water into wine, he can't pull a rabbit out of a top hat, he can't resurrect the dead nor levitate a boulder just using his mind.

ok. i've ranted enough. now leave me alone when i don't go on and on about how i should be jacking off to obama. thank you.
