Just like the old song by The Who "Won't Get Fooled Again", we will not be fooled by the new administration. But enough Americans were fooled with the promises of change. So much for vague illusions spoon fed to the easily deceived. The New Boss Obama and his minions are simply the minions and mental minnows of Old "Boss Tweed" Clinton.
So far, most of Obama's picks for his Administration of Change have turned out to be Clintonistas touting what Rush just today called the Bold Old Policies. Even Hillary is now the Secretary of State (or Intestate) in the Regency of the Obama Era and only three heart beats away from the presidency.
I still believe the economic fallout of the new Regency and the equally tone deaf Democrat controlled Congress will be more akin to a second Carter Administration; with all its inherent economic melees. Now, the economic follies will star the same cast of nefarious schmucks from the days of Bubba Clinton, called the Bald Old Retreads.
This may very well cause us to suffer under the worst of both possible worlds. But wouldn't Voltaire have had a field day satirizing the presumptions of this cast of clowns? So why shouldn't we do the same with economic and political commentary while having a blast as the cracks appear? Personally, I'm looking forward to it.
All this can be summed up in a baseball analogy. There is no joy in Mudville, the Mighty Barack has struck out.
