Iowahawk Delivers Again
"America Can Take Pride In This Historic, Inspirational Disaster"
I don't care whether you are a conservative or a liberal -- when you saw this inspiring young African-American rise to our nation's highest office I hope you felt the same sense of patriotic pride that I experienced, no matter how hard you were hyperventilating with deep existential dread.Funny, and mildly frightening, stuff.Yes, I know there are probably other African-Americans much better qualified and prepared for the presidency. Much, much better qualified. Hundreds, easily, if not thousands, and without any troubling ties to radical lunatics and Chicago mobsters. Gary Coleman comes to mind. But let's not let that distract us from the fact that Mr. Obama's election represents a profound, positive milestone in our country's struggle to overcome its long legacy of racial divisions and bigotry. It reminds us of how far we've come, and it's something everyone in our nation should celebrate in whatever little time we now have left.
Related: Change.gov? I've never heard of the "Office of the President-Elect." It's going to be a long four years.

Iowahawk did indeed deliver: I included it an email I just sent my dad.
And I want to apologize again for using the wrong word to describe you. Not only incorrect, but actually backwards.
Enjoy your day and let's hope our suspicions prove to be off base. Perhaps Obama will only be the worst President since Jimmy Carter!
