HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN!

I'm sitting here today just mildly reflecting on the events of November 4, 2008. What a day for the oft disappointed Democrats. No overnight extravaganzas with shenanigans being practiced before our very eyes. No more challenging of votes such as in Ohio in 2004. No more chads!
No more Supreme Court partisan decisions. This Election Day it was evident that our organization, maybe the best ever, by the brilliant Obama machine had done it's magic. Phone calls, visitations, literature drops, canvassing and follow up with transportation to the polls. It was all there and the money: Well it came in small but substantial sums, which overwhelmed the Repubs, who are not used to losing the money game to these middle class kids, grandmas, and college grads. Even Catholics dared to defy their bishops who threatened them with excommunication and denial of the body and blood of Jesus Christ, should they vote for a candidate who was pro choice. This while closing their eyes to the "lack of pro life policies" which were personified by weapons of mass destruction devestating countries which had not even attacked the US.

It was so much fun down in the Bear's War Room waiting and watching with son Danny, who is becoming almost as bad as you'rs truly in his zeal for the Democratic Party and their wondrful array of leaders: H. Clinton, J. Biden, D. Kacinich, C. Dodd, B. Richardson, just to name a few of these magnifico lady and gentlemen, who graced our primary and provided "the great Obama" with competition, which sharpened his knife for "the race for the Roses" when election time came. McCain, a fine war hero, a US Senator, with a so called mavarick bent (not anymore), who wasted his time with name calling and alledged Obama misdeeds, all a bunch of baloney, once exposed by the so called "town meetings", instead found himself facing a brilliant young pol, so cool, so collected, so ready!

The Repubs ran their campaign like they ran the last eight years of government: LAZILY!
They got what they reaped and many a Repub pro will agree that byNovember 2008, their inept leadership on just about every issue had dumbfounded an American public many of whom said:
"How could any administration be so bad?" The economy, the wars, the Justice Dept capers, the mistreatment of our wounded warriors, the never ending scandal by Repub leaders in Congress, the Cabinet etc.

So around 10 PM last night, we finally had the news of the states that would put us over the top and Senator Barack Obama became President-elect Obama. Its going to be quite a ride and will start almost immediately this week with Cabinet members being chosen, the people who will execute the laws to be passed by a stronger Democratic Congress. Yes, Demos, its now time to begin the process of cleaning up the dirty linen of another Bushie.

Health care, an end to the war (the Bear prefers two wars, not one), a fair tax system, a military which is sleek, well trained and not overburdened by assignments in places like Germany, France, Italy, all over Europe! WW2 is over! We need to attack our infrastructure in the country which is not what it should be. Our emphasis on energy must be direct and immediate.
T. Boone Pickens should be utilized before he goes to "the Happy Hunting Grounds!" Most of all Americans must be put back to work and fast! A GOOD JOB=PRIDE!


Good luck Mr. President-elect. The Bear will be praying for you each day with my favorite Saints, Michael the Archangel, Francis of Assisi, St. Thomas Aquinas, a man of great wisdom.
St. Anthony also comes to mind. I want to ask my Baptist brothers to "let freedom ring in all the churches" of the country with their gregorious uplifting music, Wow!

More on the Cabinet picks as they develop. A name has popped up for Chief of Staff: Rham Emanuel (great!) (An achiever!)

Finally, thank you thank you thank fellow Americans for giving us back the White House, first made the "people's house" when the first real Democrat of our life, Andrew Jackson, came rooting and tootin into Washington.
