Change We Voted For

A Democrat's spiritual journey through a presidential administration that doesn't hate him.

Triumph!


And when President Obama removed his hand from the Lincoln Bible, he went up immediately from the crowd, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him; and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved President, with whom I am well pleased."

Or perhaps that was Wolf Blitzer's voice, who had the honor of interrupting John Williams' stirring composition, "Variations on a Star Wars Melody," and proclaiming that at noon, Eastern Standard Time, Barack Obama became the 44th President of the United States, as mandated by the Constitution regardless of any oath.


I must say, this feels really good. More insights on this day to follow...

About Me

Ben
A college sophomore, I've been following politics religiously for the last 4 years. I do not mean these posts to come across as anything other than somewhat informative, but mostly entertaining. I'm like Jon Stewart but without the nice suits. Or the production value.
