On election night when it became painfully obvious that America had decided to hand the reigns over to a man with little experience and no significant political accomplishments, I decided to flip on Alan Colmes’ radio show and see what the left had to say. I was blown away by what I heard, and the steady cry of the left since has followed suit. Alan, fresh on the heels of victory, was asking what kind of grace period Obama would get. Liberal callers to Conservative shows since then keep saying “Just give the guy a chance”. To which I reply, “As opposed to what?!?!?”

Has it dawned on any of you leftists yet that, without regard to anyone else’s opinion on the topic, he has four years worth of a chance? What difference does it make what Hannity or Limbaugh or some Conservative blogger’s opinion may be? Do I have the option to not give him a chance? If so, I choose to exercise it. On a serious note, I obviously do not have that option. So when leftists demand he be given a chance, what are they really saying?

First, they are asking us not to do what they have done for the last eight years. They are asking the right to get out of the way and allow him unfettered access to his agenda of “change”. Don’t fight. Don’t stand up for what is right. Don’t criticize him when he is wrong. Remember, it is change. Give it a chance.

Secondly, they are admitting the weakness of their Candidate. Do you recall being asked to give Bush a chance? Did anyone suggest that Clinton should receive some type of grace period? Yet it was Hillary who pointed out that the Presidency doesn’t lend itself to on-the-job-training. Now Obama supporters, who denied the charges of his inexperience, are the very ones admitting that their guy will need some time to figure out just what the heck he is doing.

Just give the guy a chance, right? We have no choice. He is here, and there is no alternative for those of us who didn’t fall for the hype. I will not, however, shut up and go away. I will be a voice of criticism every time I feel that it is called for. I will stand up for what is right, and speak my mind. Yes, folks. The hypocrisy has begun, and here comes the commentary.

The Inauguration

Let’s play devils advocate here for a second and “give the guy a chance”.Remember when he criticized McCain for wanting to “take a chainsaw” to the budget and stated that he would “take a scalpel” to it instead? We see the first example of this new policy with the Inauguration. The $120 million inauguration. No chainsaw on that budget, but rest assured, his scalpel was put to good use. He will save the taxpayers a few bucks by recycling the Bible upon which Abraham Lincoln was sworn in.

Change will also make a debut in Washington D.C. during the ceremony. Remember when we found out via the attacks on talk show host Bill Cunningham that it is not acceptable to use Barack’s middle name? Well, in the true spirit of change, it is okay now. Obama will be sworn in as Barack Hussein Obama. No official word yet from the transition team on when we will receive a list of when it is or is not allowed to use the Messiah’s middle name.

No word yet either on if or when Obama will be prosecuted for his latest criminal offense. First, allow me to point out the fact that it is much more ignorant than criminal. For those Obama supporters who awoke from a political slumber just long enough to cast a completely uneducated vote, I will point out that there is no such thing as “The Office of The President Elect”. There is, however, a law which forbids displaying any printed likeness of the Great Seal of The United States or facsimile thereof which would make Obama’s real seal for his imaginary office a federal offense punishable by fines and 6 months imprisonment.

Yes, like it or not, the inauguration is here, and with it a new President. But it is, of course, high time we had us some change. So we welcome this new President who is anti rich and pro poor. I suppose that’s why his security detail is off kicking the homeless off of their heater vents in preparation for the big event. Hey, wait a second. Something fishy there for sure. Why are the homeless clustering around heat sources what with all this global warming Obama is trying to save us from?

Is that better, my friends on the left? Is that what you meant by “giving the guy a chance”? Or was I supposed to turn my head the other way? Was I supposed to assume that the office of the President Elect is housed in one of the 57 States that I have never been to and overlook the ignorance of having a forged seal for a non existant entity?

Back to reality. Obama has a chance. He has four years to change my mind. With this mans open obsession with Lincoln, one would think that perhaps you libs could remember a little saying that went a little something like “Government of the people, by the people, and for the people”. The intention of our system is not to for the people to give our Government a chance, but rather for our Government to give the people a chance. If Obama does that and runs a government that stays out of our daily lives and allows us to pursue our life, liberty, and happiness, then I will join the adoring throngs. But if he instead does as he says he will, then I will do everything in my power to send him back to his dinner parties with his family friend William Ayers. Is that enough of a chance for you?
