Mr. new President, “Sir, I’ll be praying for you.”
Amid the 'fests' of various separate cultural proclivities, and parties galore, in another celebration of changing of rule from one party and philosophy to another, the thin smoker who happens to be black and will have his hand on the bible in a few moments is probably too busy in the parade of set action he must play a part in to fully wonder at THAT MOMENT.
No not the oath Sometime, in a quiet moment in few days, he is going to have a cup of coffee, and walk downstairs to his office, and sit down. Alone. Since he is human, and understands the events around him, here is what his mind is going to utter, I guarantee you.
HOLY SHIT
Bill Kristol recounts that at the end of the dinner Mr. Obama had with varous conservative pundits one of them pulled him aside and told him "Sir, I'll be praying for you."
Barack Obama deserves his holy shit moment, because the confluence of events put him him at the center of Rudyard Kipling's poetic IF storm.
Yet, as one who vigorously opposed him for his stated policy goals from the start, I can say that all stars in the firmament have given him the opportunity to be one of the greatest 3 or 4 presidents in American history
Economically we don't know if we face a recession of severe proportions or 1932 Our european allies are having a schadenfreud party like a bunch of morons, while their economies decline faster. Our competitors, like Russia, and their pals gather like jackals over the 'demise' of america, and pray for separation of the american dollar from dominance in the world economy. Our enemies like Iran celebrate the end. Al Qaeda is in an unknown state with leaders still making tapes, and has given birth to more mass murderers driven by the quran. The Middle east is a muddle of national, and religious wars, and every day makes more clear there IS no solution, and reveals the new war will be against organizations not like Al Qaeda, but like Hizballah. We read Mexico and Pakistan are candidates for national collapse. We remain stuck on oil and its hideous suppliers as the hard iron of american manufacturing, GM, Ford and Chrysler follow US Steel into some kind of stupidity fog and potential permament decline.
I won't go into the weaknesses of Obama's stated policy goals before, because right now, it seems as if he made monkeys out of the left, but we are not sure at all what he really thinks about how to achieve american goals.
He is going to get wide berth from the people in terms of errors. We can see this from the minor scuffle over a Secretary of the Treasury nominee who doesn't pay his taxes, which in any other time would result in his abject removal from consideration. But yet Obama can't make many errors or the consequences for us all will be dire, perhaps extreme.
Missile defense, banks, manufacturing, consumer confidence, overstretched military, nationalization and ruination of private property and capitalism, pick your area of critical expression, and every one is up front, right down to freedom of speech (Fairness Doctrine)
So we pray for you even though we disagreed utterly with so many of your statements and personal appointments during your campaign.
We pray for you to be one of the greatest at this moment of national peril, AND national opportunity.
