Lazy Americans led by nose to Obama

It wouldn't surprise me if you don't publish this response to Camille Ziemann of Algonquin in the Fence Post, titled "Grant Park was an inspiration."

Wow, I think she beats out Chris Matthews' leg tingle with that piece. I didn't watch the "festivities" because I was disgusted and embarrassed for Illinois and America on the coronation of their King. He not only will save America, but now the world. He's being compared to Lincoln even before he takes office. President Lincoln he is not. Not even close.

Unlike the liberals and the media after the year 2000, I will give this man a chance because he will be our president even if I didn't vote for him. I am very disappointed with how lazy Americans have gotten. Instead of blindly listening to the media and your beloved Hollywood, you should do a little research and learn the facts before you vote or say things. Really, it doesn't take that much time.

Americans don't even know who's been running Congress for the last two years. Here's a clue, it's not the Republicans! I pray that Obama will prove me wrong and not do what I think he wants to do, but only time will tell. This country has survived far worse times than what we are now facing, and I've no doubt it will survive anything else we or the world throws at it.
