The U.S. Voted Wearing Their Change Goggles
The U.S. Voted Wearing Their Change Goggles
Wednesday, November 12, 2008
By Mike Baker
It seems that much of the nation rolled over on Tuesday night last week, lit a post election cigarette and dreamily congratulated themselves on a wonderful performance. Was it okay for you?
I’ve never seen anything like the global swoon we’ve been experiencing since the polls closed and Obama’s victory was announced. "OMG," cries the public, fueled by a media that got itself a bit more than a little pregnant, "how wonderful we are for electing Obama."
Maybe I’m just a cynical, churlish id*ot, but I woke up after the election with a feeling that, while historic, the result was more a vote against Bush than a vote for Obama. Dazzled by his speechifying and supercool ways, the partygoers opted for style over substance… for campaign skills over any discernible leadership record. Sure, we know he doesn’t have any significant experience and seems too smooth to be true, but what the h*ll. As a nation, we went out to the bar with our change goggles on.
So there we are the next morning, staring at our new companion for at least the next four years. You feel good for having brought home the most attractive candidate, and you did show how progressive you are… but what’s the person really like? Never mind. Let’s enjoy the feel good moment for a bit longer. Soon enough we’ll have to get out of bed and get something done. Here’s hoping the relationship works out and he’s a keeper.

By the way, in last week’s PWB, we asked readers to tell us what they learned from the lengthy campaign process. The mailbag has been jammed with responses ever since. As a result, at the beginning of this week I formed a committee, led by Bobo the talking intern, to select the top ten reader responses to the question, "What have I learned from this campaign season?" Since then, the committee has been huddled in the conference room compiling the list and playing a lot of foosball. Their decisions will remain secret until next week, at which time we’ll announce the winners.
Unless of course one of the committee members opens their yap and leaks the results ahead of schedule. That would be unfortunate. There’s a no-leak policy here at the PWB, it’s enshrined in our employee handbook on page 7 in the section titled "Keep Your Piehole Shut."
In summary, if any staff or interns are unable to keep confidential information confidential, they shall be terminated. I also included a multi-panel drawing showing an employee being told a secret, then revealing the secret, then being escorted out of the office. Diagrams are always helpful in employee handbooks.
I mention this because just this past week we’ve been reminded how difficult it seems to be for some people to shut up. And refreshingly, this isn’t a Democratic or Republican thing, this is across the board. For some reason, usually because they’re complete tools looking to show how clever or important they are, many people can’t help talking out of turn.
This is why, when confronted by a rabid conspiracy theorist convinced that there is an evil cabal somewhere pulling the strings and screwing us all, I stare at them slack jawed while my thought balloon asks "Are you really that stupid?" Somebody in that cabal, whether at the top or the bottom of the cabal ladder, would eventually leak to the press.
The other day President Bush and the First Lady hosted President Elect Obama and his family at the White House. While the First Lady and soon to be First Lady successfully managed to keep their discussions private, we quickly learned from "anonymous sources" that Bush and Obama reportedly talked about striking a tit-for-tat deal on economic issues.
This is a classic example where grownups, you would’ve thought, would be disciplined enough to keep a lid on what was discussed in supposedly private discussions between two of the most powerful folks on the planet. How difficult is this concept?
It appears that the leak came from an Obama staffer, undoubtedly one currently consumed with their self importance and access. If the Obama transition team needs some help with the wording, I’d be happy to provide you with section 7 from the PWB employee handbook.
Also during the same week, the New York Times ran a front page article based on classified information provided from "anonymous sources" within the military and/or government. The story highlighted a heretofore secret executive order (exord) signed back in 2004 that gave authority for counterterrorist operations in certain countries in pursuit of AL Qaeda.
Basically, in carefully selected circumstances where operational intelligence warrants the risk, the exord allows US personnel to cross into listed countries to carry out operations against defined terrorist targets. I believe the codename for the exord is “Basic Common Sense”.
The New York Times managed to gather information on this exord from individuals, either currently active or retired, incapable of keeping their respective pieholes shut. Perhaps the sources disagree with the order and feel it their solemn duty to talk to a reporter. Maybe someone was upset over how the exord was managed or interpreted. It could be that one or more of the sources talked because they are starved for attention or recognition.
What they do have in common is an apparent inability to understand the concept of classified information and a disregard for whatever oath of office they took upon entering government or the military. Got a bone to pick? Go to the press, leak a little. Who cares if it’s classified… aren’t we all better off in a completely transparent society? What a load of crap.
If your job is to work with classified information… if you’ve been trusted with that authority and responsibility, then do your job and keep your mouth shut. If you want to talk to the press for whatever reason, man up, quit your job and go on the record. You’ll still be breaking your oath, but at least the rest of us could enjoy watching you deal with the consequences.
As always, we look forward to your comments, thoughts and insight. Send your e-mails to peoplesweeklybrief@hotmail.com.

I hope you are wearing a hat lined with tin foil

That was intelligent
now wasn't it, and quite disrespectful!!!!! I am a Christian and I took great offense to this post! People like you are the ones who are always saying how we as Christians are disrespectful and narrowminded, well ...... EXCUSE ME! What did this prove.
Oh, now that's really intelligent....NOT! NM

Nothing intelligent to say? How like you.
Yawn.
Do you have anything intelligent to say?
Seriously, BigBlah, you're a broken record.
Do you have anything to say about the topic, or are you just here to blah blah blah like you usually do?
That's all you got.....nothing intelligent to say?

LOL, and not nearly as intelligent!!!
I like to turn on Beck from time to time to remind myself that, unfortunately, the Boogie Man really does exist!! I picture him as the kind of nutjob that goes home and secretly downloads kiddie porn ...he gives me the creeps!
You win. You are far more intelligent than
overarching superiority. I am leaving now and will never return. You have shown me the light. I am not worthy of your time, and I apologize profusely for ever having posted here in the first place. Btw, the comment above was not mine, but perhaps they too will see the light. Thanks ever so much.
Thanks for an intelligent response
and for the information you supplied. 
one intelligent woman
The fact that you can write that in such a classy way should make the libs choke on their words.
Nice job and don't let anyone ever silence your beliefs.
My favorite part of what you said was this "There is nothing wrong with nor to be ashamed about in the way we feel and we are as much entitled to that as liberals are to liberalism".
For the party that claims tolerance, they are the most intolerant people I encounter.
Happy Friday girl
Wow, that was an intelligent answer.

No, you just have no intelligent answers

So did you have any intelligent comments about what you saw...
Or were you just posting to spew your schtick?
Yeah, we get it. You don't like conservatives.
Was that your point? Because that's old news and adds nothing to the convo.
Thank you for your intelligent answer.
That's what I thought. So, now, do we really need this bail out? Maybe not. I'm still watching Glen Beck and he is really interesting tonight.
I wanted to watch Casey (D-PA) interview on the local station, but decided to go with Glenn Beck. The interview with him will be on tomorrow morning, so I'll watch it then and report back if possible.

Very INTELLIGENT Post
Thank you for pointing out that it isn't a Republican or Democrat problem. This is an AMERICAN problem.
Your message is the first one I have read that gives me hope that we can put aside bipartisanship and work together to fix this country.
We need all the great minds we can to get out of this mess (no matter who created it, that doesn't matter) and get OUR country back on the right path.
It is so refreshing to read an intelligent post that isn't full of blame and bile. Thank you for giving me hope again.
Okay, and thanks for being getting me off this board, wow, it has been fun and intelligent.nm

This is not an intelligent explanation
First, if the administration was pushing for good things for our country, not taking the country down the path of socialism/communism and had a good plan for the future to get us on the road to recovery, everyone would want him to succeed. But since he is not and we're on the brink of depression/socialism with no hopes for the future and no plans to help Americans, more unemployment ahead, more people losing homes, etc, yes we want "that" to fail (not "him", we want "that" to fail). If it was anyone else in the seat doing the same actions I would wish for the same thing. If Hillary, Mit Romney, John Edwards, Mike Huckabee, etc had the same exact failing policies that are being pushed on us now I would have the same opinion.
I've listed to plenty of their lies they are spewing. This is not an "intelligent explanation about the plan for this country". This is another distortion and lies to us and we are tired of it.
Calling people un-American because they are tired of being lied to is really un-Patriotic.
You laugh because you have nothing intelligent

Thanks God that there are also intelligent people
on this board! Not many, but there are.
There are people who think only to their NOSES who should get out of their BOXES and breath some FRESH AIR.
Wow, what an intelligent answer, and thoughtful.

You don't think there are strong, intelligent women...
who express their opinions in favor of Palin?
The conservative posters on this board are no more sensitive about Palin than the other side is about Obama.
It is not personal for me either. I'm sure Obama is a nice person...and I am personally sure he is not the right man for the #1 job. He has a socialist agenda and socialist policies and I think that would be disastrous for America. That in a nutshell is my problem with him.
So intelligent...but all the symptoms of Tourette's, how sad nm

F: Obama more intelligent, better educated. nm

Do you consider yourself to be an intelligent educated person?

Still can't come up with an intelligent reply to the refute?

Palin is very intelligent and actually been in charge

Great... go.. we have intelligent conversations

Belittling intelligent voters
just end up making you and yours look very, very small. It is sad to see the other party's apparent complusion to tear down something they cannot quite understand. Better luck next time with your candidate, your campaign strategy and your capacity to muster up the hope and inspiration so many Americans are feeling today. Maybe you too can find a way to feel a bit more proud of who you are and who seeks to represent you.
What makes you think Obama is so intelligent?

Normally, intelligent people thinks for themselves

whoop to you! Say something intelligent, for a change!.
Do you deny that Obama is popular in foreign countries
and very much RESPECTED, in Europe, Asia and all around the world, EXCEPT by the Republicans.
Bush for them was a 'dangerous joke!'

i thought i'd find some intelligent discussion
here, but what a nasty post. or maybe you are hopelessly superficial. so sorry.
I am proud of strong, intelligent women... sm
Expressing their opinion and speaking out. Just because they're not infatuated with SP and disagree with her idealogy doesn't mean what they're saying is hateful. I've seen much more hateful things here on this board than on that blog.
You (and a lot of people) seem to be taking any negative comments about SP very personally. Is there no critism of her you'll stand? Come on. McCain wants her to be the VP and no one who thinks otherwise can say anything about her w/o it being "hateful" ? How ridiculous.
I don't agree with her views on the issues. It's not personal. I'm sure she's a lovely person, I'm just not convinced she's the best person for the job. In a nutshell, that is my problem with McCain's choice of her for his VP.
I guess you dislike intelligent answers
Sam has some of the most intelligent, rational, thought-out answers I've seen on this board - unlike those who just want to post how this one is a joke or this other one is a jerk. Or the ones who immediately resort to name-calling and cursing.
Sorry, intentional ignorance in an intelligent person does that to me. nm
