Okay Barack - time to get to work


Barack Obama is now our President. Great! Now that the pomp and circumstance is over it's time for him to stop saying the right things and start doing the right things. Now I know he has only been in office for three days at this point but shit no one said this was going to be easy. If shit wasn't so dangerously fucked up right now, he would never have been elected in the first place. Now it must be said that Barack is going to be a way better President than W. ever was. But it must also be said that Barack is going to have to answer the tough questions that W could never have. The public wants and has the right to know and hold him accountable. No longer can we afford as a people to listen and be mesmerized by slogans. Only by his deeds. I have no doubt that he is capable and willing and ready to help our country and the civilized world but I am no ass - kisser and won't be afraid to call him out or cheer those that do. After eight years of negligence the press is going to be overly aggressive in questioning the new President. And as well they should. He has an important job and that comes with territory. I am rooting for Barack but I am rooting for America even more. Holler!
