If an Obama supporter made the bet.....
If you won, he’d Welsh on his bet cause he ain’t got it.
If he won, the money would be worthless due to QE3, 4, 5 etc.,
I wish I could share the optimism. But I doubt it. With Obama we’ve entered new territory. Witness the fact that he had Jay-Z as a guest at the White House. A small matter? No, hell no! Just do a google and check those beautiful misogynistic lyrics. Just type in Jay-Z and the word pimp and you’re off to the races. This is no small matter. This moral ambiguity and permissiveness is dangerous in the extreme. Permissiveness is not the cause, but the result, of the breakdown of authority. And that’s the point. Our society is abandoning morality. And there are too many mean people (mean=average) who admire mean things. We’re staring into the abyss. Obama is a man of the times for the times and hence probably unbeatable. Sorry, but we’ve neglected our civic culture for way too long .Obama is the result of that devolution.
