Obama Saves Us

Here's a quote from President-elect Obama during his comedy speech to the Al Smith dinner in New York City last month:

"Contrary to the rumors that you've heard, I was not born in a manger. I was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father, Jor-El, to save the planet earth."

Hey, either way dude. Just get on with it!

There is one area where the Obama's are going to be influential without effort. I predict they're going to subtely rehabilitate the institution of marriage just by their good example. Their mutual affection is genuine and obvious. They see and treat each other as equals. Michelle is a whole (non-stepford) person, but also gracious and charming.

I predict they're going to provide an eight year object lesson on how to do marriage well. And yes, I'm predicting right now that Obama will win a second term. The right fired all of its smears (Moslem, terroist, socialist, radical) in this cycle and still lost by six million votes. None of those accusations will be available in 2012 after Obama has been our president for four years. If he does even moderately well, he's a cinch.

I agree, although expectations are high. as said in that other SNL skit, Obama simply has to "JUST FIX IT." How? "FIX IT."
