You can watch a clip of the press conference by going to Politico.

Was that joke any more out of place than any of these, by our current President?

Or how about this gem, by presidential candidate John McCain?

People, chill the hell out, okay?

As ecstatic as I am that Barack Obama is the new President-elect, I think it’s important to remember that he is, in fact, still just a man.

He will make mistakes and screw ups as President, just as all others have before him. The difference, though, is how will he handle his mistakes and the new power he will soon wield.

Today is, fittingly enough, November 5th.

“Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot,
I know of no reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.”

As American citizens, we can’t forget that government as a whole, regardless of which political party is in charge, needs to be kept in check by the people.

Government needs to know that its power comes from the people.

I sincerely hope that, should things become as bleak as they did during the Bush years, that United States citizens will take to the streets, instead of letting our government continue to strip away our rights while we sit back and watch.

I would vote for Barik…. Bar….. Oboman…. the ‘O’ guy that you and mommy really like!”

The “old guy” she was referring to was, obviously, John McCain and the “rude thing” she was talking about was this quote that made its rounds on the intertubez back in July, which I posted about.

Oh yeah. My daughter also thinks that blogging is my job. Yeah, I wish I made my current salary blogging!

After watching that video, doesn’t that look like the same kind of “flip-flopping” that Republicans nailed John Kerry about?

Hat tip to “Things Younger Than McCain“.
