For the last 21 months Barack Obama has waged the most cynical and calculated campaign for the presidency of the United States, ever. For the last 21 months he has told the people of this country that he is the way. It is he, Barack Obama, that would deliver to them that which they so desperately need. Only this electorate could bear witness to the most bold and masterful power grab in the history of American politics on one day, and show up with their begging bowls on the next. This is the state of the country, and this is the state of the Obama voter. Now the message will suddenly have to change. Mr. Obama will have to say, “You can do it,” rather than, “I can do it.” He will have to motivate people that he has spent the last 21 months trying to placate. People that were OWED something for nothing just yesterday, will soon be hearing what they MUST DO to get it, and it won’t be as simple as casting a vote. Reality will have to set in.
For all of the rhetoric of the last 21 months, Barack Obama has somehow maintained that change was the providence of his divinity. As President of the United States he will soon be preaching that change is, (as anybody with a lick of sense would know), the providence of the individual. For all of the socialist banter, and for all of the “Yes we can!”, what it boils down to for each and every one of us is, “Yes I can.” Barack Obama did not get to the presidency waiting for somebody to hand it to him. The fact that such a feat is lost on his supporters is tantamount to failure and the man has yet to serve a day as President.
This is the sad state of the electorate that put Barack Obama into office and this is the sad state of our nation as a whole. I can hardly wait for all of the, “roll up your shirt sleeves and get to work” nonsense that will soon be forthcoming. I thought we’d all worked hard enough and it was time for us to get something back. You mean, we’re still going to have to work for it? I thought we were just going to stick it to the rich dudes?!
Oh my God, I think we’ve been bamboozled! I think we’ve been hoodwinked! I think Barack Obama’s ideas of hope and change are going to fast sound pretty familiar to us all. It isn’t about epiphanies in voting booths. It isn’t about electing one man. It’s about getting off your butt and working hard. Wow, profound… and all at the same time, lost… on those that voted Obama.

Let the sweet reality of politics sink in painfully for all those first time voters and idiots who bought into the free handout. It’s going to be amazing.
