So my nine year old comes home from school…Catholic school…yesterday and she says that the teachers hooked up a television in the cafeteria for the Inauguration.
They were given the option of going over to watch it or staying at their ordinary tables. My daughter said she wasn’t interested and stayed with a few friends and ate her lunch.
But she said that when Barack Obama was inaugurated a few of the teachers started applauding.
Now look, I’m pleased that for the first time in our country an African American is President but there’s no way I’m breaking out into applause over this guy becoming President. I mean, this is a Catholic school and I’ve got teachers applauding Obama in the cafeteria? I don’t know. Not liking this. At all.
I wish him success. I’ll pray for him. But there’s no way I’m applauding.
Am I overreacting here?

Applaud what? A man that got elected to the highest position in the free world based on an “American Idol” popularity contest? A man that now holds the reigns of the most powerful military in the world and he doesn’t have a clue how to use it? a man that talks and talks and talks but commits to very little? I fail to see where his attraction is because his background is full of bad or questionable choices, some of them (his cocaine usage) very criminal and nothing is apparent that he deserves the adulation of anybody. Sorry, but he is just a slick salesman with a gift of gab that was up against a stern and hard to like President that was forced to make some tough calls. Obama is over his head and as proof he has surrounded himself with veteran Dems to make up for his woeful lack of experience. with Pelosi acting as co-President, she will soon move to make sure that what SHE wants is what Obama does.
