Announcement to lurking Freepers: Obama is not just becoming president

He won a second term. That means he has been president for four years now.

The next four years will be a lot like the past four years. I know you aren't happy about that, but really, look at the facts.

Nobody tried to take your guns over the past four years, and nobody is going to try to take them over the next four years.

Nobody is going to outlaw you saying "Merry Christmas" or putting a picture of Saint Mary and baby Jesus on your Christmas cards, just like nobody has outlawed that over the past four years.

Nobody is going to teach your children to rip up Bibles in school over the next four years, just like no one has over the past four years.

Your guy lost. We know. We've been there, in 2000 and 2004. It isn't easy. It sucks. But it's life and you need to just get over it and get on with your lives.

Please stop talking about what Obama is going to do now that he's been elected president. He's already president. He hasn't just been elected. He's been re-elected.

That might freak out the Freepers but then they'll know how we felt with Alito and Roberts getting appointed. But they at least won't get as freaked out as we got over the attempt to appoint Harriet Miers because at least Obama will appoint someone who's competent.

posted on FB some dire EOTW nonsense about Obama winning. I can't figure out what happened to her. She spent several years in IN so maybe that warped her.

(sadly shaking my head)
