Pearls of Wisdom and Foolish Mutterings

Is it just me?

Is it just me or does anyone else out there get the feeling that our brand-spanking new President is sooooo out of his depth? Every time I see him on the news or in a news clip or picture, he looks just a little more freaked out. Reminds me of the old saying, "Be careful what you wish for."

I really do hope he proves me completely wrong over the next four years, but I can't help but think that right about now, President Obama is looking around at this big pile of crap he has jumped into (head-first, even) and saying to himself, What the hell was I thinking? Personally, I think somebody pumped his head full of PollyAnna Pie-in-the-Sky when I'm the President, I'll save the World bullshit and he bought it - hook, line and sinker.

And now he's finding out it's not as simple as just being the President and saying this is what I will do. I guess now is when we find out what he's really made of. Yikes. I was discussing this the other day with my son and I wondered out loud, "What happens if we discover that we have a President who is all charisma and no substance?" We may just find out.

Yep, that's what I think, no straddling the fence here. I'm too old to straddle the damn fence anyway.
