Now that the savior has landed on planet Earth, we need not worry about a thing. Food will magically appear on your family's dinner table, your mortgage will pay itself, race relations will improve overnight, and suddenly CIA-controlled bearded cave dwellers in turbans will go the way of the raptor.
So much has suddenly and mystically changed in the United States - and the world for that matter - since last week that it's now safe for the corporate media to forsake their darling Neo-Con idols.
Only now that we have Lord Obama can the elite comfortably trumpet everywhere that George W. Bush's approval rating is abysmal - in fact, the lowest ever.

In the latest polls, it appears that a mere 24 percent of the public approve of the Chimp in Chief. This compared to lows of Clinton, Father Bush, Nixon and Carter. But this isn't news. You can go back as far as nearly three years ago and find Bush was already at all-time lows of around 30-35 percent approval. Today, though, it's in sync everywhere from CNN and Bloomberg, to news outlets in Australia and Scotland.
Funny how up until the past week, you'd have been hard pressed to name the last time Dubya was invoked in the media for any reason. Now it's sheik though. The Neo-Cons are gassed. Cheney is suddenly stricken with heart problems again, and Bush looks horrible when he actually is captured on camera. Add to that the Left has its liberal facade of "change."
Where was the MSM during the past years, however, when the same Neo-Cons were running around annihilating the Constitution, illegally invading sovereign nations, and torturing and/or killing innocent women and children of third-world countries?
Today was an open invitation though for an approval rating juxtaposition.
The Obama clan made its way to the White House for the latest dog and pony show. Barack, his two children, and his wretched Council on Foreign Relations wife paid George and Laura a visit. The festivities were full of fake admiration, phony compliments, and sickening photo ops. Not that this was any different than during the Clinton-Bush transition.
Oh, how the wind blows.

MSNBC, SkyNews, BBC have all been screaming about Bush for the last 4 years. Well, only Keith Olberman screams, the others just report.
But anyway, I have seen plenty of talk of Bush's rating in months gone by. He has however been sort of an afterthought in the media.
My big hopes for Obama are simple. Close Guantanamo, end Iraq, repeal the patriot act and hire Ron Paul to run the fed (or abolish it).
