It was less than 2 hours after Barack was declared President that the first “Join The Obama Resistance” shirts were available on Cafe Press. Since then, websites have been launched, conspiracies have been formulated. Hell, even Alan Keyes has filed a lawsuit to verify Obama’s birth certificate!
This will not die down and it will not go away.
I remember the week after Bill Clinton was first elected, he and Al Gore appeared on the cover of a news magazine. I was in a bookstore when two rednecks drifted by and said, “Can you fucking believe THEY got elected? He ain’t nothing but a draft dodger.” That meme is still alive and well.
All the ugliness that John McCain, Sarah Palin and the rest of the right wing hate machine generated over the length of the campaign will continue until Obama is out of office. For us, our job is to always beat it back. The myth busting we did during the campaign will need to be continued… always.
We can’t stop.
Ever.

It’s going to stop when Obama leaves office? Really? Just look at how much shit they’re still trying to blame on Clinton.

Today, a coworker of mine blamed IRAQ on Clinton. “If he had done more, Bush wouldn’t have had to…” and I didn’t listen to the rest.

It is always fun to watch someone’s head explode when I mention that Clinton was crucified in the press for going after Bin Laden.
And
An answer to the Clinton responsible for Iraq thing. Bush the first was the one who fought that one… Feel free to mention that to the idiot and watch the exploding head.

Sadly, there are those who will never accept Obama as their President but I think many will come on board just for their own economic self interest.

Obama has probably the hardest task ahead of him as any previous president has. A very unstalbe world in terms of security and a worldwide economic reccession. It will be interesting to see how he copes, don’t forget his success is our success.
