Naming His Price
Profunksticated will say the same thing about 9/11 he said last year – that he was nauseous, waiting for World War III to explode. I’ve got little to say beyond that.
I’m starting to believe the Obama-Biden ticket is toast. The fawning by the media and political right over GOP Veep pick Sarah Palin is going to be too much for the Dems to overcome.
But that’s OK. If Obama loses, he still wins. He’ll still be the Democratic Party’s titular leader. Obama will be viewed as a proven, battle-hardened campaigner who will go down in American history. He can return to the U.S. Senate and have his pick of committee chairmanships, assuming his party is in control. Imagine BHO returning to Illinois to run for governor. Who would take him on?
BHO can go on the lecture circuit, write more books and make major bank if he chooses never again to run for President. What entity in Corporate America wouldn’t want a Barack Obama as its CEO or sitting on its Board of Directors? Try to envision Obama weighing offers from several colleges and universities to serve as president. Obama for life can name his price.
Obama’s most valuable consolation prize: Watching John McCain try to clean up the mess George Bush left behind. Obama won’t be blamed if things spiral further out of control. You think a wave of schadenfreude washed over Al Gore when 9/11 occurred? “Damn, I’m glad that ish didn’t happen on my watch.”
Obama supporters will be bitterly disappointed, but should shed no tears for the brother. He, Michelle and the girls will do just fine.
Too quickly you give up hope. You must recall that NO ONE expected him to get this far.
True, but I’m trying not to set myself up for disappointment.
