Can We Now Ask Serious Questions?

First off, and I didn’t get a chance to post about this yesterday, congratulations to Barack Obama for being “hired” as our 44th president.  I completely understand the historical significance of the election of an African American for the first time to the highest nation in the land.  For those that did not vote for him, myself included, he has a lot of work to do to convince me that he will govern from the center and not cater to his far left liberal friends.

But now, that we finally had some closure, it is my hope that we can finally ask President-elect Obama some serious questions, and that maybe the media will stop treating him like a saint.  And hopefully, there will not be any media blackouts like in the aftermath of the Biden tv interview with a station in Orlando, FL.

We have some serious issues that need to be resolved, and nobody, NOBODY, should receive a free pass when we’re trying to solve some serious problems.  So I am cautiously optimistic, that when Obama makes some mistakes, the media will not gloss it over as if it is nothing.  I expect similar treatment from the media as they have shown to President Bush.  But for now, with the election season over, let’s see about concentrating on transitioning the government and solving these problems that we have, in a common sense centrist way.
