The New Era of …uhmm, something?
For me, the words “New Era” have become the latest buzz word in this political season.
America is entering a “new era” of peace.
Obama is leading the United States and the world into a “new era.”
It’s a “new era” for American politics.
I just saw an article the other day with the blurb, “Obama team faces new era of counter-terrorism.”
I honestly want to know what’s so new about it all. Sure, a black man as president is “new” but I don’t really care about that.
Looking around in the past few weeks, months even, it doesn’t look like we’ve entered a new era. In fact, it looks the same. The politicians haven’t changed; they seem worse than before. Tell me, how has Blago not been impeached yet? And Dems, where’s the conviction you guys fought so hard to get? Letting Burris take a seat seemed like the same ol’, same ol’ from the sorriest party in America.
Here’s the best part, supposedly under this “New” administration we’ll be changing for the better. You know, the one with roughly the same Democrat controlled Congress that didn’t do anything for for four years now, and we expect them to do something now? Ha.
The only thing that I’ve seen that’s new in the past 3 months is the Arizona Cardinals making it to the Super Bowl. That’s new.
So, I just want to know, I want someone to explain to me how and why this country is entering a new era. Because to be honest until Barack Obama actually starts doing new things as President it all looks the same to me. Then again, the world is giving Obama the best blow job he’s ever had, so I suppose that’s new, but not really.
