If you really believe in Democracy...

it seems to me you should be willing accept the decision of the clear majority of the American people and at least wait until the person elected to be the next president actually takes office and begins to take care of business BEFORE you start working against him.

How is this for a post title: Chicago Politics And The Man With the Middle Name Hussein?

The author says that for 22 months leading up to election day

bloggers on the right as-well-as Conservative talk radio hosts such as Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh warned of the dangers of electing a product of the corrupt Chicago Democrat Machine. But you did it anyway.

Yes, the right-wingers did sling mud, and yes, it didn't stick. Barack Obama was elected.

Now you guys have lost. If Barack Obama fails to give us an adequate administration, then it makes sense that conservatives will be in a position to capitalize on that. But the future isn't here yet, so why not just wait and see what develops?

For years those of us on the left have heard about "Bush derangement syndrome" and of our pathological hatred of Bush. And these allegations were leveled against us because we abhorred President Bush's dereliction of duty in defending our Constitution, because we objected to his repeated failure to listen to the voice of the majority of Americans, because of our concern for the damage being done to our international reputation because of the radical foreign policy of the Bush/Cheney administration, among other concerns. In other words, our opposition was directed at actual problems.

But President-elect Obama has not yet been sworn in. And still the ridiculous charges are being brought against him, accusations that he is a religious hypocrite - really a Muslim, not a Christian, that he has a controversial middle name, that he presented a fraudulent birth certificate and is not even eligible to serve as president, and now this latest charge that he is a politician from Chicago.

Now speak to us about derangement syndrome.

So let me ask: Are we to assume to that every politician in Chicago is corrupt? The above mentioned posts adds, "And let’s not forget Mrs. Clinton when we talk of Chicago corruption, she was born there." Okay, but I ask: So what?

Long story short: Yes, you guys have warned us what a disaster a President Obama would be. But again, IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE IN DEMOCRACY, you will allow the man to take office and begin his administration ... and then, if he does not perform well, the American people can vote for a change of direction.
