I realize the 48% who voted the other way last November are having a hard time understanding the enthusiasm for Barack Obama's victory and inauguration last Tuesday.

For my part, I'm trying to remember the dejection I had in 2004 that the country had been so stupid as to let a bumbling incompetent be re-elected so I can have some empathy for that 48%.

The reality is, folks, that the entire country has been Enroned by the President just departed. And, no, Bush did not keep us safe. He exposed us to even more than you can imagine. If what he did was good, then why are we fighting two wars the way Osama Bin Laden wanted us to fight, over $10 Trillion in debt and have an economy in crisis?

Will Obama do any better? Only time will tell, but it would be damned hard for him to do any worse.

For those of you in the 48%, I offer this article and the must read commentary following as a tutorial.
