During the election most opinions were drowned out by those shouting about "Historic, first black President" etc. Once this started there was no taking a few deep breaths and thinking about it, they had to do it.<br /><br />It seems that some people never learn. Yesterday I was seeing stuff about Bachmann winning the straw poll and comments about how it would be historic to elect the "first female President." If Bachmann is good enough to win, kudos to her, but she needs to do so on ability not novelty.<br /><br />The people talking this nonsense need to remind themselves of the last bit of historic Presidency, and ask themselves, "Hows that working out for us?"Jim Fryarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780237902858889143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060534295892170518.post-69893895249974432012011-08-15T12:04:20.924+10:002011-08-15T12:04:20.924+10:00And yet I can still find people who'll tell yo...And yet I can still find people who'll tell you what a wonderful job he's been doing. Was chatting to one over the weekend, in fact. Still admired him for saying the right things - it's all about 'the dialogue', apparently - and why was I so keen to give the guy a hard time. I said I wasn't particularly, having begun with low expectations and found that the Obamessiah had pretty much lived down to them. 'Change we can believe in' = similarity, in other words. But I couldn't understand why she and other admirers of The One are not bitterly disappointed that he's delivered on so little, especially when they probably wouldn't let an ALP leader get away with talking the talk and not walking the walk.Angry Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491082312193274360noreply@blogger.com
