Yesterday. I have words but I can't put them out here yet. About President Obama (President Obama) and about something else. Joyful. Later today. I'll talk about it later today. My heart is bursting, my head is whirling. Later.
Ah, my beloved Mr. P. If you read my latest post, you'll see all my excitement wasn't directed towards the inauguration but I will say that I don't know if anyone who doesn't live here can understand the significance of us having a black president. We are so proud that we've finally broken this sad barrier. And we've been so ashamed of having such a giant idiot-moron as our president for the past eight years and of all the horror he's inflicted on the world. We're proud to now have a president who can speak well, who knows the constitution, who seems to have the ability to lead us, to inspire us, to do the job a president should do. We're just so relieved.
Must admit - I cant see the big deal about him being black (he's more brownish than black - how would America feel if he was really black - dark black....not so sure they would so accepting then - whatcha-think?)
I hate racial prejudice - accept agains the French of course. I want all colours races creeds etc to thrive.
But surely - he is NOT the Messiah - the answer to the world's problems - please Gawd.....this is what happens when personality takes over responsibility....you cant idolise this mere man....he aint he Saviour of the world....not even of America.
How does he get his teeth to look like that? Are they real teeth - or chunks off an elephant's tusk?
Sorry to be so mean about your great day....not intending to be.
The greatest American? The one I would most like to meet?
My (still) Beloved Mr. P- I appreciate your imput and observations but I think if you read carefully, you will see that most of my joy from that day of joyousness came from learning that my daughter is going to have a baby. I don't think Obama is Superman, but I do think he's a good man and an intelligent one and compared to what we have been dealing with here for the past eight years, we are so happy to have him as our president.
I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteAnd I feel tongue-tied, trying to express what I felt yesterday, what it was like to be there. Words fail me. It has to distill for a while.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful when something so great happens it is hard to put into words? It doesn't happen often, but it's so sweet when it does.
ReplyDeleteBut surely
ReplyDeleteHe's only a man....not a superhuman god.
Aintcha all overdoing this a bit?
Okay GBush was a bit of an idiot - and so probably you're all feelin relieved that he's gone.
Personally - I dont think he's going to make much of a big difference.
When the hoopla dies down - he's going to be saying:
"Whoa....what is this bloody shitty mess....help me Mammy....get me out of here..."
it's not all about big teeth grins (him and mrs O) and superstar status.

Ahh....so P was right: it's relief.

Mohamed Ali....
Is this the Good Mr. Pineapples or the Bad one?
ReplyDeleteThe real or the fake?
Duh?
ReplyDeletethis is the real Mr P.
Am I coming over all "bad" and "evil"?
I am looking at the situation as a mere observer - not taken up with any emotion - either good or bad.
How can you confuse this with being bad?
Remember - the Bad P - swears and uses foul language. That is not me.
Good P - just gets on peoples' nerves and insults their closely guarded institutional thinking.
