Ahhh inauguration day. And I didnt watch. A historical day and I didnt even bother to turn into the network channels and watch the whoring of todays historical events.
Yes whoring.
They're whoring poor Pres. Obama to the fullest. And I refuse to give into it. Granted I was the biggest supporter of the man, but I refuse to give in to this bastardazation of cause. T-shirts, mugs, commerative coins,(we got some as x-mas gifts), bumper stickers... you name it, its had his face plastered all over it.
This is dangerous.
There is something essentially wrong with blind nationalism, after all it is what got us into this mess in the first place. Today its the promise of change, but not just a short eight years ago, the ferver of change motivated the right wing take over and shit all over our democracy.
What I'm saying is that we cant lose our edge. We need to keep our eye on our government. No matter who's at the reins. We should be as critical of this presidents policies as the last president. Because if we dont, nothing will get fixed, no one will be held accountable, and ultimately it will the taxpayer who ends up suffering for failed policy. And after all failed policy is why the country voted the way it did, so we should'nt handle our shiny new president with kid gloves. Instead be a silent cynic, hope for the best and if we dont like what happens we make our voices heard at the polls, and if we do like what we see, we give him another 4 years.
Remember that ultimately we hold the reins in this mother fucker.
So was I hopeful and happy that Obama was inaugurated today? Fuck yes. Ecstatic. But I dont like that the vultures are waiting to feed off poor Obama's
carcass. I am happy to see history made today; it means a lot for someone like myself to see a person of color take the reins. Its kinda like a fuck you to the establishment, the good ol' boys club has been finally penetrated. And that makes me happy.
So what did I do instead of watch the inauguration? I was racking my brain planing tonights dinner. -uv
