it's not the end of the world

that obama chose to glorify a gay-hating, anti-choice creep of a preacher at his inauguration ceremony.  but it is a real bad sign.

the reason it's a bad sign is that i'm looking at 3 decades of democratic politicians taking lefty votes for granted, shunning us, while courting right-wingers who always vote republican.  this is part of what has fucked up this country so bad; 30 years of driving to the right, working on destroying the middle class, giving charity to the rich and screwing the rest of us.

in the immortal words of St Molly Ivins, dance with who brung ya.

My hope/thought is that he's doing this to help keep 20-25% of the US population from hating him with the fires of 1,000 suns - in short a token to make nice with people who'd otherwise hate him. Given Obama's plans for contraception and abortion access, I'm fairly certain that this is all that is.

May that it be so.
