After the Election

Obama won the election Tuesday, as if anyone needs to be told that. I have not actually heard any newspeople say what the results by number of the win were. O got over 300 electoral votes, so that put him over the top by 10:30 p.m, and Mc threw in the towel. I was not happy that big John lost, but am accepting the result. O got a briefing today from Intelligence honchos, and supposedly the transition procedures have started smoothly. Maybe O will grow up and grow into a President of the whole country, even though at least half the population seemingly hates him, and the other half think he is God who will give us(or them) Manna and Money. Hopefully he will get away from his stuff about how the Constitution sucks and the course of American history has sucked till the minute he Arrived. It is going to be a time of social turmoil for a while, I am afraid. What else has happened in the last 2 days? Winter is on the way across the midwest, and probably will get to Des Moines soon. Foxnews reported that Putin is trying to get Med out of power, so he can take over the top job again in Russia--no surprise there. Nejad is trying to make nicey to Obama. The stock market is back way Down, after the election. Gas prices today are at $1.80. Probably there will a shootup around Thanksgiving--a holiday gouging. We will see. Apparently Youtube's system crashed tonight--just when I was ready to find some videos of 0ld-time French singers--Frehel, Sablon et al. Katie Couric tonight was in a state of woe over a big dip in retail sales, and the troubles small stores and small businesses are having. And in town this morning a guy came into his living room and found a guy who had been robbing driveup banks all over town asleep on his couch. The robber was an older homeless guy who was always on camera wearing a yellow ball cap. So he has finally been caught. More on this will be on the ten p.m news in a while. One thing I need to get away from is getting up at 2 a.m to watch Red Eye on Fox. Silly but interesting program. Kind of a TV version of Bob and Tom. I like Greg Gutfeld, though. It was 40 Years Ago this week, in Nov. 68, that I began my Army era--leading to the Mekong delta. Was it really that long ago? Yes, it was. This will be all for right now. I have stated my murky views on the political and historical situation with Potuselect Obama. I do hope he works out as a president. Some of the blog coments I have read about him are vicious and hateful and the others are so up in heaven I don't know what the middle ground is among Americans. You all take care. Di di mau!
