I just wonder, going forward, how much complaining there'll be about Bush now that Obama is president.

Oh, one thing I thought of for why we spent so much money, and the media is swooning over Obama:

Could it be that, since the world is pretty anti-American (at least from an image standpoint) at this time, that the media is giving Obama a focused PR job to repair our/presidential image? I'm not meaning the typical 'oh hey, it's the new prez' look, but the 'all hail savior of the world! Barak Yeshua Christo Hussein Obama!' so the world will look at him in a better light now that Bush is outta office?

I had that thought. Maybe the media is learning from their Bush-bashing mistakes that it does hurt the American image overseas, and is bad for business in the long run. I doubt there'd be this much fanfare if it was McCain, but maybe Obama makes a good 'britney spears celebrity watch' target. Maybe they'll be taking pictures of Michelle 24/7 to see what she's wearing, and have Perez Hilton comment on it daily.

Stickball, you identified my source of headache for the next four years....
