OT: US President (US Dom Players only)

[HoneyBadger]

Obama is President. Let me repeat: Barack Obama *is* President of these United States. Ok, that's a fact.

We've just suffered through 8 horrendous years of bad, stupid, and unconscionable leadership under a man-child not competent to run a 7-11 well. That, and all the disasters and embarassments occurred, in part, because many citizens of these United States chose to focus on things which had nothing whatsoever to do with the President's actual leadership ability.

The question of whether or not Barack Obama is a citizen of the U.S. was answered by his opponent, who was also of dubious citizenship. They cancelled each other out. We can now all feel free to let this one go. It really does *not* matter, and I'm sorry for you if you honestly think it does.

Mccain lost, Obama won. By an enormous landslide. If you want someone to blame for that, blame George W Bush--he's the primary reason Mccain did so poorly against the first black man ever to be elected President in this country. George W Bush forever denied the infallability of rich, white, Christian, European-Americans. If there are any racists out there, George W is basically your very own Benedict Arnold. He lost it for you, and the world has forever changed.

So now that we're past all that, can we please focus on important issues, like the energy crisis, the environment, the economy, stem-cell research, world-relations, education, National health-care, and poverty in this and other countries? Seriously, if you can't focus on these, or something of similar importance, then again I feel sorry for you, and please get out of the way of our conversation and our country, because you're just being a nuisance and a distraction.

I'm not singling any one person out, or pointing any fingers, because this is maybe a message that we all need to hear:

There's a lot of important work to be done, and if you can't manage to force yourself to be a part of the solution, then please don't make the problem bigger with your irrelevancies.
