Barack
Obama's liberal base is furious over his decision to pick centrist members for his cabinet and for bringing the
Clintons back to the White House.
Obama
has angered the far left by retaining Robert Gates as defense
secretary, and retired General Jim Jones as national security advisor.
And with Hillary Clinton set to take the helm of the State Department,
hope and change has taken a back seat to 'stay the course'.
Gates
was the architect of the troop surge, which paved the road for what now
can be called a decisive victory in the Iraq war. With that in mind, it
is highly unlikely that Obama will withdraw our military within the
original
time frame
that he outlined during the campaign. It is also improbable that the
defense budget will be slashed anytime soon, as the attention of the
war on terror will now turn toward Afghanistan. This will stick in the
craw of Nancy
Pelosi and Harry Reid, as well as
Obama's puppet master George
Soros.
Meanwhile,
it is being reported that Obama has developed a chronic facial tic
brought on by the stress of the presidential campaign. The Secret
Service has also had to increase security due to more threats on his
life than any other president-elect in history has received. The
spasmodic
anomaly
has supposedly left his wife Michelle very distraught. The pressure
that Obama has been under is only bound to increase with the economic
downturn set to get worse before it gets better, and world tensions
will take their toll as well.
One can only hope that the "messiah" doesn't develop
Tourette Syndrome before Inauguration Day. That could prove interesting.
