Between Barack and a Hard Place

Welcome the first of many presidential-puns to be used throughout the next 4 years. Today our great nation watched history unfold as America swore in her first African-American president.  Whether you voted for Barack Obama or the Old Angry Guy, you cannot help but marvel at the impact this election had on our nation’s history.

That being said, “Let the comedy begin…” With Bush out of the White House millions of comedians are now out of material. Talk about a recession! But enough beating around the Bush. With the biggest Comedic Depression looming over us since they canceled Perfect Strangers, leave it to the The Onion to stand in the gap! The Onion offers cleverly crafted mock news in the same spirit as The Today Show and The Colbert Report. Great for your lunch break or morning cup of coffee.

All joking aside, our nation stands at the threshold of a new era of government. At a time where skepticism in our democratic system is at an all time high, President Obama has been given the daunting task of fixing our nation’s shattered confidence. Just like an onion, he must peel back the layers of doubt and cynicism that have been making us cry for years. Although I admire his courage, I do not envy him. Only time will tell if America can smell what Barack is cooking.
