Well, Barack Obama was sworn in yesterday as the 43rd man to hold the office of President of the United States. The media seem unable to make mention of this event without qualifying it as "historic." As though it would not have been "historic" for any other man to take the office. Really, isn't it pretty much a given that you will go down in history if you become President of the United States? However special it may be that a somewhat brown-skinned man is now the President, I'm not sure that it makes a great deal of sense to hysterically gasp, "historic," with every mention of his election, inauguration, and administration.
Besides that, this morning's gas prices had not declined a bit from yesterday's levels. What's he been doing all this time?
And don't even get me started on that whole "44 Americans have now taken the presidential oath" thing! Imagine - he actually forgot (or never knew) that Grover Cleveland served two nonconsecutive terms! This, of course, means that while Obama's is the 44th Presidential administration, he is only the 43rd person to be president. Perhaps Grover Cleveland's administrations were not sufficiently "historic" to capture the attention of Mr. Obama and/or his speechwriters.
I say we impeach him.
