$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('flapjax', 'Y')ou've got some catching up to do, because I've been having a outright blast with how Obama will be your president since the 5th. .
First off, the President Elect has promised me lots of goodies; and if he delivers even a tiny fraction of his promises, I will have lots of free booze to drink while I laugh at the idiocy of free bread and booze for the mob.
I HOPE he's smart enough to come back and say, "yeah, yall were fools to believe there'd be this check or that tax cut; but we can't afford it, and you can't have it." I wouldn't bet highly on that though.
In the end though, he can't fix the economy, and the degree of number fudging they'd have to do to keep the next eight years from looking like an absolute catastrophe will be a source of many jokes itself.
Finally, unjust though it might be, he'll get credit for the 21st century's Great Depression. That will be the funniest of them all; thrust firmly into the path of the unavoidable sledge weighed down by tens of trillions of dollars in unfunded liabilities.
Yes, we are. As we are.
And so shall we remain; Until the end.
