Post Election Obama

I’ve been really impressed by Obama since the election. He hasn’t felt the need to rub salt in the wounds of his opponents. 

I’m watching a press conference where he has several of his cabinet officials being announced. In two of their speeches they made references to the last eight years. Then his bonehead VP got up and did the same thing. All that does is tick off those who lost the election.

Now I fully expect to abhor Obama at some point. Eventually, he will become like Bill and Hillary. He is, after all, further left than either of them. But for now, I’m not aggravated. I’m not condemning him. I’m letting him do his job without criticism. I feel civil towards him. I wish him well. I wish him success. I would rather see him successful and get reelected than fail miserably and get in a Republican.

I never felt that way towards Bill. I knew he was crooked and evil from day one. History has certainly proved that to be the case.  

I hope having the staff blaming everything on the last eight years is not Obama’s plan to stay clean. I’m sure they will be more offensive than Obama but I would like him to maintain a level of amenity. If he does, I will try to do the same.
