Jan. 19th, 2009 10:43 pm...may best be summed up by Something Positive's strip on the subject:
Also, on the subject of the floods of Obamerchandise that's hit the stores; I think I will always value my $5.00, 2-inch "Obama for president" button that I bought from a fundraiser more than I could any kind of Obama collective plate or memorial coin. (We won't even touch on the toilet paper.)
And finally, on the subject of expectations:
I am sure that Obama will do many things I don't agree with, and many things that disappoint me. But so long as he governs with intelligence, compassion, and most importantly integrity -- three qualities that have been missing from our top office not only in the past eight years, but in the past twenty years or more -- I will consider all my expectations upheld.
