Judging by my e-mail, a great many conservatives are counting down the days until they next get to vote in 2010.  They hope and pray that Americans will come to their collective senses and undo some of the horrors unleashed by last November’s election.

Or so we thought.

Five months after the election we are starting to see that President Obama meant something very specific with these slogans that helped garner him the election.  It just wasn’t quite what any of us Americans thought he meant. (more…)
